Our Small Studio Session band this month features the high energy sound of the group Pavel & Direct Contact. This Latin Jazz and Salsa ensemble is led by pianist Pavel Polanco-Safadit and backed by an ensemble of seven outstanding musicians.

Pavel details his passion for music when it comes to performing, recording and teaching, “I think that’s one of the reasons I’m on this earth. I want to make people feel happy through whatever we do."

You can hear more of Jill’s conversation and see Pavel & Direct Contact perform at wfyi.org/small studio.
