With Jazz as the anchoring foundation\, Perez’s Global Jazz music is a blend of Panamanian roots\, Latin American folk music\, West African rhythms\, European impressionism–promoting music as a borderless and multidimensional bridge between all people. Since 1993 Pérez has released twelve albums which have earned him critical acclaim\, and numerous accolades around the world. He is a recipient of the Doris Duke Artist Award in 2021\, United States Fellowship 2018\, and the 2009 Smithsonian Legacy Award. For nearly two decades\, Pérez has been part of the Wayne Shorter Quartet\, alongside bassist John Patitucci and drummer Brian Blade. This latest iteration from Shorter has been known as a unique and predominant force in improvisational music both at their historic live performances and on several recordings. In 2018\, Blue Note records released the Wayne Shorter Quartet’s highly anticipated EMANON album\, which won the 2019 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Album.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_empty_space height=”24px”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_empty_space height=”24px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_accordion style=”flat” shape=”square” active_section=”1″][vc_tta_section title=”The Experience” tab_id=”1687923810144-42574a89-d6c9″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1764867461289{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]We can’t wait to welcome you to the 2026 Charleston Jazz Festival with 9 full days of spectacular jazz experiences April 13 – 21 2026! This year’s festival brings together world-class artists and iconic Charleston venues for a true celebration of jazz in the cultural heart of our city. Join us for an unforgettable showcase of music\, creativity\, and the vibrant spirit of our arts community! \nOften hailed as one of the top things to do in Charleston\, SC\, attending a Charleston Jazz Orchestra concert is an unforgettable experience.  If you are new to the jazz genre and big band style\, take a risk and surprise yourself.  Our director Robert Lewis will guide you through the nuances and significance of each piece\, sharing stories behind the songs and composers.  Many arrangements have been specially created by our own orchestra members and can’t be heard anywhere else in the world.  You can get a taste of past performances on our YouTube channel here. \nWhen you step through the doors of the Charleston Music Hall you are stepping back in time into a circa 1849 train station\, historically known as the Tower Depot.  You will hear the iconic sounds of jazz wafting through the lobby\, reminiscent of the city’s rich jazz history.  Stop by one of the lobby bars on the lower or upper lever to purchase snacks\, beer\, wine or soft drinks to bring with you into the theatre. Our friendly ushers will greet you and assist you in finding your way to your seats – there’s not a bad seat in the house! \nOur audience is diverse and you will see patrons of all ages and walks of life\, including couples\, singles\, students\, families\, and groups of friends – jazz has never met a stranger and all are welcome.  Many of our guests are tourists visiting Charleston\, and some of our regular attendees have been coming to concerts since the beginning of the organization.  We hope that you will become one of our “regulars” as well by joining the Charleston Jazz family by becoming a Season Subscriber\, Member\, Sponsor\, Donor\, Student or Advertiser.  There is a place for YOU at Charleston Jazz. \n  \nI have been a season ticket holder since the inception of Charleston Jazz Orchestra for many wonderful reasons. The caliber of performances are spectacular. Their musical selections appeal to all musical tastes regardless of age. The Music Hall is the perfect venue for such a group of phenomenal artists. \n★ ★ ★ ★ ★ \nLil H.\, Google Review \n  \nWe love the Charleston Jazz Orchestra!
