Santi Debriano’s Arkestra Bembe

Jazz at Pier 84

Celebrate all things jazz with music by local legends on Wednesdays in Hudson River Park!

About the Artist

Santi Debriano has been composing music on his acoustic bass since 1982. His abilities as an improviser, arranger and composer have made him a favorite of such greats as Archie Shepp, Sam Rivers, Pharaoh Sanders, Oliver Lake, Freddie Hubbard, Danilo Perez and others. He has over 100 recordings as sideman to his credit, and 10 recordings as a leader. His latest, Ashanti, features this extraordinary nine-piece ensemble, Arkestra Bembe.

About Jazz at Pier 84

As a spirited tribute to NYC’s storied history of jazz, this Park-favorite series features local legends in a lineup of free performances on Manhattan’s riverfront. Combining smooth tunes with beautiful Hudson River Park evenings, Jazz at Pier 84 keeps music an integral part of our public programming, thanks to our sponsor the Jazz Foundation of America.
