I had the honor of hanging out with legendary bassist of Dizzy Gillespie’s big band Mr. Paul West. I had a great conversation with him reminiscing about the music scene of the 1940s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and the 80s. Those were the days for all musicians. Music was everywhere didn’t matter what genre of music you performed. Conversing with Paul brought me back to those incredible days. What an encyclopedia of music history. To all great musicians out there, continue your journey and your legacies! It’s truly an incredible inspiration!

Recording sessions DONE! 🎶

Proud, happy and so excited to say we have finished our recordings for our song! I loved working with Willie Ruiz. Besides it was a lot of fun, he is also a great coach and professional producer. We both gave it a 100% and we look forward to share the release. Ofcourse we are going to reveal the exact date later.

Now it's time for some other very excited projects that came along during my stay in New York City. Keep you posted!

Today I am at a loss for words. We lost one of our pioneers in Latin music. Ralphy Irizarry. My deepest Condolences to his family during this difficult time. I had the honor to perform with him, record with him and arrange music for his CD projects. Thank you  Ralph for being a great friend, mentor and for having me perform in your projects and gigs. Love you brother, I will miss you. RIP🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️
