Ongoing - Le Cafe Presents: "Off the Cuff" with Sammy Figueroa


At age 19, Sammy Figueroa found himself living in NYC working at Sam Goodies. After months of selling records to Herbie Mann he was given his first break - sit in with the Herbie Mann band. He was a kid but they loved him. Two months later he was playing Montreaux Jazz festival and the rest is history…

Figueroa has never forgotten his humble but exciting beginnings. His mentors taught him the importance of being influenced by young, up-and-coming musicians and artists. "It feeds my soul' says Sammy, "it's more than just fun – it's necessary in order for me to continue creating, let alone living."

When Sammy and Joe Teskie (a student of improvisational music and friend of Le Cafe) first met, Figueroa could feel the connection and knew something great would grow from it.

When the opportunity came to reach out to his community and the beautiful people of South Florida through an opportunity to play improvisational music – Sammy jumped on it.

Figueroa and Teskie both said, "let's just play man – something "off the cuff"…

Join Sammy Figueroa and "Off the Cuff" every other Thursday from 8 pm – 11 pm.
