This Latin-Jazz octet plays to sold-out audiences at Southern California’s most prestigious venues including the Catalina Jazz Club on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, CA - where this CD was recorded LIVE! The group is comprised of some of the world’s current and future jazz legends with a collective résumé that includes alumni from the legendary Stan Kenton Orchestra and touring and recording artists with Natalie Cole and six-time Grammy winner Arturo Sandoval. Three of the group’s members are on the prestigious jazz faculty at the USC Thornton School of Music; one of which has a Grammy-nominated album. Together we explore our musical influences through a jazz lens, including unique and non-traditional original arrangements and compositions.
