It was hard to sit still during this fun Latin jazz concert! Dr. Bobby Rodriguez is quite the showman--a born entertainer. With great work from his brassy band, plus a delightful star turn from guest vocalist Niki Haris, it's clear why this holiday show has been around for 10 years.Written on Dec 12 2007

Four of us went to this event..It was very enjoyable; however, just a little too loud from anywhere at the venue! Very upbeat Christmas selections with an excellent vocalist, Nicki Harris.Written on Dec 10 2007

Quotes & Highlights
- "Rodriguez is both a first-rate jazz trumpeter and an ebullient, entertaining performer… he devoted his entire program to Latin rhythm transformations of Christmas music -- from salsa-drenched versions of 'O Tannenbaum' and 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' to a sweetly lyrical flugelhorn rendering of 'The Christmas Song.'" --Los Angeles Times
