Led by Edwin Sanz, Jazz Night Latina gathers musicians and enthusiasts around vibrant Latin rhythms.

Soloists take turns to push creative boundaries while the ensemble blends danceable beats with nuanced phrasing, creating a warm, festive atmosphere that highlights musical conversation and improvisational energy. Listeners are invited to share the experience.
An open-mic welcoming performers of every level to present a song with support from Alexandre Coppaloni’s team of professional musicians or with your own band. Share original compositions or reinterpret favourite pieces before a curious, welcoming audience. One song per participant (more if time allows); pieces should stay close to original keys and avoid overly complex arrangements, since there is no rehearsal with the house band. Send charts in advance if you need instrumental support.

Formed on the legacy of Swiss Yerba Buena and Dry Throat Five Fellows, their repertoire revives often-overlooked tunes alongside original takes, offering a warm, danceable evening rooted in early jazz traditions.
