New York Strong: Latin Jazz!

Opis:Noah Bless is New York Strong. I\x27ve seen him on the finest bandstands representing this great city, in a manner that honors that NYC tradition of purposefulness. He is equally home in swing, rumba, or samba, but always strong. He\x27s brought together a band of New York Strong. Amongst them the great bassist Boris Kozlov, Flautist Alejandro Aviles and percussion Maestro Luisito Quintero. If Strong is Ying, then Yang is gentle. This lovely recording, made by lovely musicians, in a scary time in history will give the listener strength and respite. A 30\-year veteran of New York\x27s rich Latin jazz scene, trombonist\-composer Noah Bless has immersed himself in Afro\-Cuban music, soaking up mambo and rhumba while getting the clave ingrained into his DNA. A graduate of internationally renowned Cincinnati Conservatory, with a master\x27s degree in jazz from the Manhattan School of Music, Bless didn\x27t intend on pursuing this Latin jazz path when he arrived in the Big Apple in 1990. Indeed, the Thad Jones\-Mel Lewis Orchestra was more in his personal wheelhouse. But as all working musicians know, especially those fresh arrivals to the city looking for a means to pay their rent, you go where the gigs are. \x27\x27There were a ton of clubs in New York at that time, and if you were a brass player and you could read music, you could do Latin gigs.\x27\x27 Bless found himself playing for dancers at the fabled Club Broadway on 96th \x26 Broadway. \x27\x27At that time, I was living on the Upper West Side and I used to walk to that gig,\x27\x27 he recalled. He persisted on the salsa scene and by 1992 was touring the world with Afro\-Cuban jazz pioneer Mario Bauza. He subsequently put in time with salsa stars Celia Cruz, Oscar D\x27Leon and La India, Latin jazz innovator Eddie Palmieri, arranger\-conductor Ray Santos, the Spanish Harlem Orchestra and Arturo O\x27Farrill\x27s Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra.
