Jazz Beat: El Mambo and Carte Blanc, at the Broadway Jazz Club

El Mambo is back, and this may be your last chance to hear him. Miguel “El Mambo” DeLeon’s percussion and vocals propel the ensemble Carte Blanc into some of the wildest, most energetic and most fun Latin jazz you’ll hear north of the Mexican border. Their salsa makes you sway in your seat — if you manage to stay put there. Top musicians fill Carte Blanc, with Steve Lambert on tenor sax, Alyssa Murray on piano, Andrew Stinson on bass and Pat Conway on percussion. These days, DeLeon lives in Phoenix, making Thursday’s return to the Broadway Jazz Club extra-special. Clear your schedule for an evening of spicy Latin jazz as only El Mambo swings it.
