Opening night of Dangerous Rhythms' new home, the wonderful Birdland Theater, was literally and figuratively filled with magical vibes from the onset, as the band, Sally's Tomato, took the stage. (Strange name, right?) The band's name is derived from the famous Cal Tjader penned number from the film Breakfast At Tiffany's. Performing the work of the legendary vibraphonist, the group's leader conguero Sammy Figueroa was backed by a powerhouse of top notch talent. Vibes player Felipe Fournier makes his second appearance to the series, and was simply tremendous... and quite dextrous I'll add! (watch the video) Pianist Bill O'Connell, also a returning musician to the series, was equally brilliant. The esteemed rhythm section of José Claussell and brothers 

Daniel & Marcos Torres rounded out a truly great band that kept the capacity crowd on the edge of their seats. A true summer scorcher!
