Bassist Jacob Smith brings the dynamic and cultural legacy of the Fort Apache Band live to the stage with the next installment of the Music Of Series. Started by the brothers Andy and Jerry Gonzalez, the Fort Apache Band was as much of an institution as it was an ensemble, exploring the rich connection between Afro-Cuban Music and Jazz.
