On Feb. 28, two of San Diego’s musical leading lights, trumpeter Gilbert Castellanos and pianist Irving Flores, kick off the 2020 Fourth Friday Jazz Concert Series at the La Jolla Community Center. The evening’s performance will be focused on Latin jazz standards, but whatever these two gentlemen play will surely be impressive. Both have made an impact on San Diego’s music community, mentoring a multitude of musicians, but Castellanos in particular has become a lynchpin of the area’s arts scene, establishing the Young Lions Conservatory and helping young players hone their craft. If you are a fan of classic, Blue Note-styled jazz, this concert is an exciting start to this beloved music series.
Gilbert Castellanos & Irving Flores: Friday, Feb. 28, at the La Jolla Community Center, 6811 La Jolla Blvd. 8 p.m. $25. All ages. ljcommunitycenter.org
