Diego Rivera Group

Diego Rivera Group is the band of Diego Rivera—Director of Jazz Studies at UT Austin’s Butler School—whose muscular tone, Chicano heritage-inspired straight-ahead jazz, and Posi-Tone albums With Just A Word, Love & Peace, and Mestizo put world-class sax craft on festival, church Jazz Mass, and club stages after twenty-plus years with Kurt Elling, Jazz at Lincoln Center, and more. Vandoren Performing Artist heat; diegoriverajazz.com and @diegoriverajazz track quartet and orchestra dates for rooms that want real jazz craft, not soft soft-smooth wallpaper. With just a word fire, still Rivera every single night on the road and stage around Austin.

Expect Chicano jazz heat when Diego Rivera Group hits the stage—UT jazz fire, not a random open-mic Diego karaoke.
