Join us for our 11th year of Jazz Weekend. We’re delighted to welcome the Diego Rivera Quintet.
A world-class musician, composer, arranger and educator, Diego Rivera is no stranger to the area. He was raised right here in East Lansing, attended Michigan State University, and served as Associate Professor of Jazz Saxophone and Associate Director of Jazz Studies
at MSU’s College of Music.
Rivera is known for his muscular tone and unique blend of straight-ahead mainstream jazz fused with music inspired by his Latino background and heritage. He is currently the Director of Jazz Studies at The University of Texas at Austin’s Butler School of Music.
