Funk Traffic brings together a group of musicians who have spent years sharing stages, sessions, and late night jams across Southern California. Featuring drummer Matthew Elton Smith, guitarist Deen Anbar, bassist Taiki Tsuyama, and trumpeter Cade Gotthardt, the band draws on a wide range of influences, from funk and soul to jazz and modern improvisation. Several members of the group are regular contributors to Los Angeles’ celebrated Very Good Mondays, a weekly gathering known for bringing together some of the region’s most creative and in-demand musicians. That same spirit of collaboration, spontaneity, and community is at the heart of Funk Traffic. Named after the constant flow of music, ideas, and musicians traveling between Los Angeles and San Diego, Funk Traffic is a celebration of the creative connection between the two cities. The music moves effortlessly between pocket funk, soulful melodies, and adventurous improvisation, creating a show that’s as much about the moment as it is the material. Whether you’re a musician, a music lover, or simply looking for a good time, Funk Traffic offers some of Southern California’s finest musicians doing what they do best: listening, creating, and making the room feel a little smaller through the power of live music.

GILBERT CASTELLANOS & THE NEW LATIN JAZZ SEXTET - SUPPERCLUB

GILBERT CASTELLANOS & THE NEW LATIN JAZZ SEXTET - SUPPERCLUB

Thu, Jul 23

*Doors open at 6pm | 21+ | Seatings available between 6pm & 7pm Born in Guadalajara, Mexico, and raised in Fresno, California, Gilbert’s musical career was preordained; the only son to his eponym father, a touring Cumbia band leader, singer and arranger, Gilbert was strongly influenced by his predecessor’s deep appreciation for classical composers and big band jazz ensembles, broadening young Gilbert's horizons from an early age. Gilbert Sr. strongly encouraged Gilbert toward the Jazz genre when at first he showed an interest in trumpet at age 6. By age 11, Gilbert’s intensive training and education provided the context to begin playing professionally, and at age 15 he preformed with mentor and icon Dizzy Gillespie at the Monterrey Jazz Festival. A fierce advocate of formal jazz education, Gilbert held the position of Adjunct Professor of Jazz Studies at the University of Southern California's Thornton School of Music from 2001 to 2013. Thereafter, he served as the Artistic Director of the International Academy of Jazz San Diego from 2014-2016, during which time he began conducting high school workshops and developing a more proactive role in mentorship. During his time visiting Title I schools, he recognized a need for increased accessibility to formal education, noting that many truly gifted students were deprived the opportunities to further their education due to monetary constraints. Thusly, in 2016 Castellanos founded the Young Lions Jazz Conservatory based in San Diego, California. Using his influence in a burgeoning Jazz community, one he is credited in large with establishing, Gilbert began successfully soliciting donations for and supporting thousands of dollars of scholarship to finance Conservatory Education Equity for economically disadvantaged students of promise. To date, the Young Lions Jazz Conservatory has graduated hundreds of bright musicians of diverse backgrounds with Gilbert serving as personal mentor and advocate for each, often writing college recommendation letters and offering every one of his students "real world" experience each Wednesday evening at ensemble performances For more information on our supperclubs, please visit https://www.loulousclub.com/dinnerandashow
