Grammy Nominated Victor Garcia

Victor Garcia is a powerful force in Latin Jazz. A master of the trumpet, he commands the stage with energy, skill, and soul. His music bursts with rhythm and fire, sweeping audiences into a world of melody, movement, and joy. When Victor plays, the room comes alive.

As the leader of his Latin Jazz Quintet, Garcia brings passion to every performance. His concerts are electric—full of bold solos, driving beats, and musical conversations that light up the night. Whether he’s playing, singing, or driving the groove on percussion, Victor holds nothing back. He gives every note his full heart.

Critics agree—Victor Garcia is the real deal. Neil Tesser of Examiner.com calls him “one of the most exciting young musicians.” Howard Reich of the Chicago Tribune describes him as “an ebullient soloist offering a formidable technique and a radiantly polished tone.” With each performance, he proves them right.

A True Musician

Victor’s talents go beyond the stage. He’s a vocalist, a percussionist, a composer, and an arranger. His music has reached global audiences, and his compositions have earned respect across the jazz world. His ability to move between roles—player, singer, writer, teacher—sets him apart.

He has performed with legends like Arturo Sandoval, Paquito d’Rivera, Tito Puente Jr., and Victor Manuelle. These collaborations have cemented his reputation and expanded his reach. He also shares his knowledge as a professor at Roosevelt University, Loyola University, and the University of Illinois in Chicago.

Now, Victor Garcia’s Latin Jazz Quintet is ready to bring you a night of sizzling rhythms and unforgettable sound. Come feel the heat, the groove, and the brilliance. Don’t miss this chance to experience one of the most thrilling voices in Latin Jazz today.
