Asher Barreras-Francisco Dimas: Primos Hermanos Quintet
Featuring new and original compositions by trumpeter Franciso Dimas and bassist Asher Barreras, who grew up in Old Town, ABQ and have been playing music together since they quit their first dish washing job back in the late 90’s), the Primos Hermanos Quintet will perform modern jazz compositions by the band members with a nod to the great jazz composers of the past.

After graduating Albuquerque High School, Franciso Dimas (Cisco) studied at U of Miami and Asher at UNT.

Asher is playing with the local jazz and flamenco musicians in NM as well as composing for his own group. With Kanoa Kaluhiwa, tenor saxophone; John Funkhouser, piano; and Arnaldo Acosta, drums.
