NEWS
During the 1980s, several of New York’s top musicians came together to form the group Seis Del Solar with vocalist Ruben Blades; the results were some of the best salsa from the decade. The group supported Blades and also recorded some of their own albums, focusing more upon Latin Jazz. The group will be reforming this year to do a tour with Blades, featuring the original lineup that includes pianist Oscar Hernandez, drummer Robby Ameen, timbalero Ralph Irizarry, and more. The blog from New York Latin Jazz hotspot La Fonda Boricua has got the scoop – check it out HERE.

The Global Cafe podcast recently did an interview with Broadway star and Brazilian Jazz vocalist Luba Mason about her new album Krazy Love. Mason has spent much of her career in musical theater, but she does keep a strong connection to the Latin music world; she is married to singer Ruben Blades. Trevor Stottlemyer speaks with Mason about her musical theater career and her love for Brazilian music. Check out the podcast HERE.

Jazz 101: Become an True Aficionado

Last week, I put out the call and it was answered big time...

All That Jazz: In Celebration of Jazz Appreciation Month

I don’t talk about my love for jazz enough on this blog so I figure jazz appreciation month is the perfect time to do so. I have to admit that my knowledge is lacking. Mama Vivrant Thang was never really into jazz so it wasn’t played much around the house. She did love Kenny G though and [...]

Fusion: Where Music, Technology, and Artist Creativity Intersect

Hello readers and listeners. I trust all is well today. This post is a follow-up to the previous post about the subject of an upcoming podcast I hope to resurrect entitled Fusion. The concept of this podcast came to me via an off the cuff discussion I had a few years ago with a fellow podcaster/recording artist/graphic designer. Both of us, being musicians in our own right, began discussing our backgrounds and influences in making music, which invariably talking about how technology (past and present) played a role taking the music from inner to outer. I began to see the different paths ...
