GS11022009LatinJazzmix

I have taken some of the best Latin grooves known to man today and yesterday's Latin jazz. I am very particular about Latin music as I search for grooves that move the soul and dance the romance. I love Latin music from child hood so a lot of my selections are from my own personal collection. A little history, I re-discovered Latin in Jazz while listening to WRTI a Temple University Station. I started to research further and develop a passion for this Latin jazz art.

While working here in Philadelphia at a local jazz club, Zanzibar Blue, I tried to push my Latin culture and music to the so called jazz main stream. The owners were new to the sound and found it to be risky to turn people on to. Unfortunately that glamor faded and they missed out on the perfect opportunity. I kick myself because we could of been part of that history,.. oh well

I realized in time it would grow and soon enough, the PECO Jazz festival were booking bands of Poncho Sanchez, Eddie, Tito, and countless others to perform in the city. I sit here laughing because it would be 20 years in 2010 that I have been promoting this art and here we are on this mix. Sit back relax and chill to the max, light one up , sip on that special drink, close your eyes, grab her by the waist line and dance with me this Latin Jazz...

Enjoy
