Capital Jazz Society: Cuban Missile Crisis

As part of the Capital Jazz Society's First Friday Series, enjoy jazz trio Cuban Missile Crisis! These three world-class veteran performers (Joey Gulizia, Michael Pujado and Matt Wallace) are ready to thrill and delight on the virtual stage. Omaha native saxophonist Matt Wallace toured with Maynard Ferguson to over 70 countries, and plays everything from jazz to rock to pop in a dozen local bands. Michael Pujado is a talented percussionist who was born in Santiago, Chile and has been playing and teaching music in the United States for over 20 years. Joey Gulizia is a native of Omaha where he has played music professionally since the age of ten. He has worked for the Nebraska Arts Council as an artist-in-schools from 1979 to the present, has performed on many cruise ships, and can be heard on jingles for TV and radio. In 1996 he received the Governor's Arts Award for excellence in education.
