Duende Libre Jazz Trio

Get ready for a vibrant evening of music as the Tybee Post Theater presents an unforgettable night of jazz, rhythm, and soul! Kicking off the night is Tybee Island’s own multi-talented artist Brandon Walker, known for his soulful saxophone and keyboard performances and his captivating presence on stage. Brandon is assembling an all-star quartet featuring trombonist Jaron McCarr, bassist Marc Chesanow, and drummer Robert Saunders—some of Savannah’s finest jazz musicians. Together, they’ll deliver an eclectic set of beloved jazz standards and original compositions, brimming with infectious melodies and improvisational brilliance.

Then, from the Pacific Northwest, award-winning trio Duende Libre takes the stage as the evening’s headliner. Renowned for their euphoric blend of jazz infused with the ancestral musical traditions of Cuba, Brazil, and West Africa, Duende Libre’s sound is both deeply rooted and refreshingly original. With each member having studied under master musicians of these traditions, their music becomes a powerful expression of cultural lineage and creative freedom. Described by PopMatters as “hopeful in sound as well as in ideological foundation,” Duende Libre’s performance promises to be as much a journey as a concert—filled with heart, history, and joyous rhythm.

Don’t miss this extraordinary double bill that celebrates jazz in all its dynamic, boundary-breaking glory!
