Len Barnett presents The Modern Cajon Jazz Ensemble, founded in 2018 to introduce percussion-driven jazz to Dallas area audiences. The ensemble takes its name from a Cuban/Latin American drum called a cajon, a box drum, used in traditional and contemporary Afro-Cubano music. The ensemble features some of Dallas’s most exciting jazz artists, playing music that explores a wide range of percussive sound ranging from the traditional (piano and drum) to the wildly unusual (gas pipe and Brazilian berimbau.)
