The Great American Jazz Standards

Drummer Nomar Negroni leads a live jazz concert centered on classic American standards, interpreted through a rhythm-driven and contemporary lens.

The Great American Jazz Standards takes place Sunday, April 26 at the Koubek Center, featuring the Grammy-nominated musician whose career spans jazz and Latin jazz performance, recording and international touring. Born in Puerto Rico and raised in Miami, Negroni is a Berklee College of Music graduate and a core member of Negroni’s Trio, known for dynamic ensemble interplay and a deep connection to swing and groove.

The program draws from the traditional jazz canon, offering familiar standards performed in an intimate, in-person setting that highlights live musicianship and rhythmic nuance.
