Irving Flores Presents: The Jazz Side of Mexico. Pianist Irving Flores brings a rare offering to the stage: a jazz reimagining of Mexico's most beloved songbook. Flores served as musical director for the legendary Armando Manzanero, the composer behind boleros like Somos Novios and Esperar that became standards across the Spanish-speaking world, and that close collaboration runs through every arrangement in this show. The Jazz Side of Mexico traces a bold musical journey, from Manzanero's timeless romantic ballads to the high-energy Armando Mi Conga, Flores' latest release reworking the melodies audiences already know and love through a jazz lens: rich harmonies, improvisation, and a level of musicianship that honors the original songs while giving them new life. It's a celebration of Mexican music for longtime fans and jazz lovers alike, framed by the perspective of an artist who worked at the source.
