The Afro-Semitic Experience will perform in concert on Sunday, Oct. 14 at 4:30 p.m. at Shelter Rock Jewish Center, 272 Shelter Rock Road at the Herricks Road intersection in Roslyn.
Started in 1998 with the friendship of African-American jazz pianist Warren Byrd and Jewish-American jazz bassist David Chevan, the band combines eclectic styles that display sophisticated musicianship, original songs, standards and stories, tied together with their message of “Unity in the Community.”
The band gets audiences dancing in the aisles with a mix of jazz, swing, salsa, gospel, cantorial, world-beat music and other styles. A sneak-peak may be viewed at www.afrosemiticexperience.net.
The Richard E. Herter Memorial Fund at Shelter Rock Jewish Center, named in memory of a jazz guitarist, is providing principal underwriting for the concert.
Tickets are $28 per person and include a light-bite dinner after the concert. Advance purchase is required. Group pricing is available.
