French-Canadian trumpeter Rachel Therrien has established herself as one of the most innovative voices working at the crossroads of jazz and world music. On Thursday, July 11, at 6 p.m., Therrien brings the heat with Latin Jazz Project to the Arts Center at Duck Creek in East Hampton.

This Latin Jazz Project is the fruit of her graduate studies at the Instituto Superior de Arte in Havana, her numerous musical experiences in Latin America and the Caribbean, and her 20 years of collaboration with the Latin jazz community in Montreal, New York and Toronto. As part of this exceptional group, she offers a refined repertoire that includes original pieces and her arrangements of the great Afro-Latin jazz classics. From salsa to danza, from rumba to chachacha, Rachel and her virtuoso accomplices will bring you to dance with their unique and original music tinged with influences from Cuba, New York and Colombia, among others. The players include Rachel Therrien on trumpet and flugel, Camila Cortina on piano, Raúl Reyes on bass and Juan Carlos Polo on drums. This will be a show full of color and heat.

The concert series is organized by Iris Ornig, founder of East End Jazz. As always, concert audience members are encouraged to bring a beach chair, a picnic and enjoy the evening (or afternoon). All events are free, but space and parking are limited, so please arrive early, and be considerate of the neighbors. In the event of rain, the concert will be held in the barn.

The Arts Center at Duck Creek is at 127 Squaw Road in East Hampton. For more information, visit duckcreekarts.org.
