Eight Gigs: Nagual
Sat., April 29, 9 p.m., Station 1, no cover
Have you still not checked out Sacramento’s new and only dedicated jazz venue yet? Get on with it already. Nagual, one of Sacramento’s best Latin bands, presents a prime opportunity to scope out Station 1’s sound system and enjoy some genre-bending jazz. Saxophonist Scott Anderson, guitarist Victor Contreras, congero Harold Muniz, drummer Ron Ochoa and bassist Paul Relvas all contribute to an exploratory spirit that readily dives into progressive jazz, rock and blues. This should be a rewarding evening for jazz enthusiasts bored by jazz standards. 317 Third Street in West Sacramento, www.nagualmusic.com.
