On Friday, December 7th over 450 people packed the auditorium at Roberto Clemente High School for the Institute of Puerto Rican Arts & Culture’s 4th Annual Navi-Jazz, which featured the Grammy award-winning Latin Jazz bassist, John Benitez, and his band. His electrifying performance mesmerized the crowd and received a standing ovation. The highlight of the performance was a piece composed by John Benitez’s son, Francis Benitez (the group’s drummer) dedicated to the freedom of Oscar Lopez-Rivera, a Puerto Rican political prisoner who has served 31 years in jail.
