All-star violinist Christian Howes is celebrating the release of Southern Exposure, called ?a masterful journey? by DownBeat Magazine. ?Southern Exposure? combines modern jazz with latin musical influences from Argentina, Spain, and Cuba, and Brazil. Adding the accordion as another melodic instrument, ?Southern Exposure? is a unique performance full of energy, master musicianship, and passion! With the help of rising star accordionist Victor Prieto, the classically-trained, jazz and blues-oriented Howes explores new territory in this homage to the music of Latin America and Spain.
