Jazz Beat: Mark Lowrey and La Fonda All Stars, at Take Five Coffee + Bar

Take Five Coffee + Bar closes Saturday, succumbing to structural issues with its space and minimal foot traffic. But it goes out with class — and Afro-Cuban jazz by Mark Lowrey and La Fonda All Stars (named for the Southwest Boulevard restaurant where they rehearse). Pianist Lowrey, percussionist Juan-Carlos Chaurand (from the ensemble Making Movies), drummer John Kizilarmut and bassist Dominque Sanders play original arrangements of classic jazz by such artists as Tito Puente, plus modern pop by the likes of Michael Jackson and Oasis, reimagined in a Latin style. Then, after the All Stars’ sets conclude, musicians are invited to stop by and close down Take Five by jamming on into the night.
