Bem Bem Beo – Spicy Salsa, Latin, Brazilian, Afro-Latin Music

The ultimate Latin Jazz Exploration has such diversification of repertoire, from Brazilian, Afro-Latin to some uniquely arranged Classics like Malagueña, Choro, (originated in the 19th century – precursor to Samba and Bossa Nova) paying homage to luminaries such as: Antonio Carlos Jobim, Chucho Valdez, Cal Trader, Latin standards plus the trio’s originals. C’mon down to experience this very vibrant, musical and rhythmic genre with us. Olé!

Fran Jaré – Enchanting pianist/composer embraces a myriad of influences. Her warm smoky, vocal naivety with a few songs, beguiles the listener.  A delicious popourri from proficient piano nostalgia and contemporary Jazz & Latin repertoire with her own arrangements. Nick Apivor is an “Alchemist of Sound” playing Vibraphone, Marimba, Congas and a plethora of percussion instruments. His expertise on percussion is a dynamic show unto itself. Al Johnston, bass, recorded with Orquesta La Clave, Grammy winner Lala Rodriquez, NY Salsa legend….
