JAZZONEANDO is a Latin jazz trio presenting original contemporary arrangements of Cuban son, Brazilian bossa nova, and American jazz standards and swing music, plus original compositions from a mature Latin jazz point of view. While the stage may be occupied by only three musicians, each plays a variety of instruments and all three sing vocal parts, producing a full, rich sound that is difficult to achieve with less than a full orchestra.
Individually and as an ensemble, the JAZZONEANDO members play gigs and concerts with luminaries Doc Severinsen (trumpet), Gabriel Hernández (piano – Afro-Cuban All Stars), Gil Gutiérrez (guitar – Doc Severinsen, world tours), Luis Gasca (trumpet – Santana, Janis Joplin), Alfred Thompson (saxophone – Irakere, Habana Ensemble), Doug Robinson (piano, composer), Richie Cole (saxophone – Buddy Rich, Lionel Hampton, Doc Severinsen), Luques Curtis (bass – Eddie Palmieri, Francisco Mela) Johnny Favourite (award-winning jazz singer, Sony recording artist), Julia Vari (international jazz singer and pianist) and others.
The ensemble was formed in 2010 and the trio has performed together since 2008.
