On Sunday, May 15, 2011, I had the great pleasure of doing my part in supporting the American Cancer Society Walk and Roll event at Grant Park in downtown, Chicago. It was cold, windy and it rained all day. Despite that, Latin music still found a way to warm our spirits and become part of our day. The band performing there did their part by keeping us entertained with their rendition of Latin standards with just a touch of jazz. It was a nice blend that I would like to refer to as, “Sals-Azz,” or Salsa con Jazz. The group I am referring to is a relatively new group from Chicago called, “Suena Latin Jazz.” The group is comprised of a pianist, a conga player (the leader), timbales, bongo, trumpet, saxophone and a baby bass player. Its leader, Juan Carlos Delgado or “JC” as he is referred to did his best to make good out of an otherwise miserable day (only due to the weather). I would like to thank them for sticking it out during the rain. As always, I am a supporter of all local Latin Bands. Please do the same. “JC” can be reached at jcarlos@windycitymix.com.Monday, May 16, 2011
