Latin Jazz All Stars at The Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame-Steve Turre, trombonist and Saturday Night Live Band veteran, has consistently won both the Readers’ and Critics’ poll in JazzTimes, Downbeat, and Jazziz for Best Trombone and for Best Miscellaneous Instrumentalist (shells). Néstor Torres has recorded thirteen albums to date. His fifth and seventh records, Treasure of the Heart and My Latin Soul, were both nominated for a Latin Grammy, and his production of This Side of Paradise won the Latin Grammy in the Pop Instrumental category. Conga-playing Chembo Corniel divides his performance time between his two musical loves: Latin jazz and “old-fashioned salsa that swings.” He made waves this year garnering a Grammy nomination for Best Latin Jazz Album, for Things I Wanted to Do.
Combined, these talented musicians have played with an enormous range of music greats, including Dizzy Gillespie, Celia Cruz, Tito Puente, Candido, Art Blakey, Grover Washington, Max Roach, Paquito D’Rivera, Paul Simon, and Dionne Warwick. M.F. Productions’ Latin Jazz All Stars is a musical extravaganza that is sure to bring an audience to its feet! – Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame, Upper Level.
