Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum and WHEDco's Bronx Music Heritage Center Present Latin Jazz Great Bobby Sanabria

(PRWEB) July 29, 2013

They brought the audience to their feet last year—there wasn’t a non-dancing foot in the Mansion or on the grounds—and they’re coming back for more. On Friday, August 2, Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum and Bronx Music Heritage Center will present Latin jazz great Bobby Sanabria and his band, Quarteto Aché (positive energy), for its First Friday! from 6:00-8:00 p.m.

"This band rockets between bop, straight-up and charging, to the langourous bolero, to galloping Cuban timba, to rhythms from Puerto Rico and Brazil and the Caribbean...it is propulsive, slangy, and above all historically literate," Ben Ratliff, The New York Times.

A Bronx native and 7-time Grammy nominee, Sanabria is a drummer, percussionist, composer, arranger, conductor, and bandleader who has performed with Dizzy Gillespie, Tito Puente, Paquito D’Rivera, Afro-Cuban jazz godfather Mario Bauzá and other jazz legends. Sanabria, Quarteto Aché’s musical director and drummer, will be joined by Peter Brainin on tenor and soprano saxophones, Enrique Haneine on piano and Andy Ealau on acoustic bass.

Bobby Sanabria’s music has been featured on numerous Grammy-nominated albums, including the soundtrack to 'The Mambo Kings' and other movie soundtracks, and on television and radio. He is the associate producer of the award-winning documentaries 'The Palladium: Where Mambo Was King', and 'From Mambo to Hip Hop'. A graduate of the Berklee College of Music, Sanabria is on the faculties of the New School and the Manhattan School of Music, and conducts Afro-Cuban Jazz Big Bands at both schools. In 2011, he was named Percussionist of the Year by the Jazz Journalist Association. Sanabria’s latest CD, 'Multiverse', with his electrifying 19-piece Big Band, was released last August and received two Grammy nominations.

This band rockets between bop, straight-up and charging, to the langourous bolero, to galloping Cuban timba, to rhythms from Puerto Rico and Brazil and the Caribbean.
