New Rochelle, NY, January 29, 2003 - The Art Before Noon Series will present jazz artists Harvie S and Eye Contact in a Latin-jazz concert at 11 am on Feb. 13 in the Joyce Auditorium on the Iona College campus, 715 North Ave. Admission is free and open to the public. Free parking is available on the College campus. Call 633-2629 for more information.

The performance will feature original compositions that embody "a gale of Afro-Cuban percussive spirits, an unconventional blend of instrumental voices and contemporary jazz influences in a particularly pleasurable blend," according to Jazziz Magazine. The quintet includes Harvie S on bass, Daniel Kelly on piano, Scott Robert Avidon on saxophone, Adam Weber on drums and Renato Thoms on percussion. A brief discussion with Harvie S on the intercultural ideas and influences that inspire the music will occur immediately after the concert.
