Announcements on New Project! 

We have stellar additions to the latest project!

I am very happy to announce the addition of Ricky Gonzales to our recording project, as producer and pianist. Ricky's credentials are stellar...Currently he is touring as Marc Anthony's pianist, but he will be back in NYC in time to work on this project.

Also, Jose' Madera is returning to work with me as collaborator and contributing arranger. He is touring as well, with his Mambo Legends Orchestra (formerly the Tito Puente Orchestra musicians).

Richie Cole of Alto Madnes fame returns as a co writer, and Composer David Amram also will contribute to and play on the project. Bobby Porcelli will also add his alto sax magic!

Stay tuned (pun intended) for more announcements on this exciting work!
