The Latin Jazz Syndicate, known for high-energy and harmonic perfection, kick off the Laguna Beach Live! Jazz Wednesdays series June 21 at Hotel Laguna.
Trumpeter Bijon Watson established the Syndicate as a “vacation break” between tours and recording. His latest work can be heard on a recording with Justin Timberlake and Michael Buble.
Tickets can be purchased online for $25 for table seating and $20 for side seating at www.lagunabeachlive.org or by phone at 800 595-4849. Reservations are accepted until noon on day of concert or until sold out.
