Featuring Sandy Gabriel (saxophone), Mayquel González (trumpet), Carlos Luis (guitar/voice), Stephen Anderson (piano), Ramón Vázquez (bass), Guy Frómeta (drums), and David Almengod (percussion/voice), this performance promises intricate melodías, masterful improvisation, and seamless musical conversación between cultures.
