Roberto Santamaria & His Latin Jazz Stars 

Fiesta Al Jazz 
Import CD (Connector 59917), Released 2013; 
Editor's Pick: 
Roberto is the nephew of the late great composer and bandleader Mongo Santamaria: 
"My uncle, who had left Cuba in 1948, lived on in the stories my other aunts and uncles told. I soaked up every bit of information about his music and was thrilled whenever one of his hits was played on a U.S. radio station. Watermelon Man, Afro Blue, Sofrito – 
I still savor his works today as the most wonderful musical compositions I know. Latin fusion jazz is his 
heritage, and I want to keep it alive." 
“The people ... enjoy the unusual, upbeat combination of Cuban cha-cha-chá with elements of funk, soul and, of course, jazz. And they are fascinated by their explosive yet intricate playing style ...” The seven musicians really get off on their groove, sending out sparks that immediately ignite the audience. 
“The Latin Jazz Stars” have both genres in their blood: Latin and jazz. Our music has deep roots in Afro-Cuban rhythms, but it also incorporates many elements from other styles and we try to keep surprising our audiences. We also get along marvelously and have a great time together. Every member is authentic and contributes all of his talent. To a man, we want only one thing: for our audience to feel and enjoy the music with us. They pick that up and respond with incredible enthusiasm. 
It’s simply wonderful.” (label, 2013-10-23)
