Arturo O'Farrill 's Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra





The Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra played in Santa Fe last weekend. Led by Arturo O' Farrill, the son of the famous composer Chico o'Farrill, the group is made up of 18 soloists from the Latin Jazz scene in New York. They played the classics of the Afro Latin jazz tradition as well as some new material composed by Arturo. This was definitely the tightest 18 piece group I have ever seen.
