Palm Springs Life has announced the debut of the Oasis Music Festival presented by Agua Caliente Casinos. It will take place from Wednesday, January 26, through Sunday, January 30, 2022. The Oasis Music Festival will include all genres of music and will take place at more than thirty live entertainment venues throughout Palm Springs.

Blue Note Jazz Club Presents is excited to partner with the Rhythm Foundation for an exclusive series of concerts at the North Beach Bandshell in Miami Beach, Florida. The music scene in Miami has long been at the center of the city’s cultural experience with influences in jazz, latin, hip-hop and more setting the stage for this exciting collaboration in live entertainment. The series will kick-off in June 2021 with more to be announced.

The lights go down, the band strikes the opening notes of the first song and for the next two hours Yolanda Duke mesmerizes the crowd with her mastery of Latin jazz, Merengue, Ballads, Bossanova, Salsa and Bolero.

While that is a very real scenario today, it was but a recurring dream for young Yolanda growing up in New York City. She was the gifted little girl with the big voice, who––after taking singing lessons––began to take command of her talent and gain confidence in her ability to entertain.

A protégé of the legendary jazz master Dizzy Gillespie, Sandoval was born in Artemisa, a small town in the outskirts of Havana, Cuba, on November 6, 1949, just two years after Gillespie became the first musician to bring Latin influences into American Jazz. Sandoval began studying classical trumpet at the age of twelve, but it didn’t take him long to catch the excitement of the jazz world.
