Descanso Gardens welcomes great outdoor entertainment for this year's Summer Twilight Thursdays with a concert series that aims to get everyone moving and grooving to the beat.
"Warm Nights, Cool Sounds" features top local talent who will perform at the Under the Oaks Theatre. Concertgoers are encouraged to bring blankets and picnics (normally not allowed) and settled back to savor the music from some of the SoCal's finest Latin jazz artists.
Concerts are from 5:30 to 7 p.m. and the line-up includes:
July 9 The Elliott Caine Quintet plays jazz standards and original compositions influenced by Afro-Latin jazz and the 60's Blue Note sounds.
July 23 The Robert Kyle Brazilian Trio performs instrumental bossa novas and Brazilian jazz classics.
July 30 The Louie Cruz Beltran Ensemble blends high energy salsa with jazz, R&B and pop.
Aug. 6 The Mitchell Long Group features Afro-Brazilian arrangements with Mitchell singing in Portuguese.
