Jazz music community with review and forums
Drummer/percussionist and conductor Bobby Sanabria has long been part of New York's vibrant Latin jazz club scene. The multi-talented Sanabria grew up in the tough South Bronx. While attending a Tito Puente concert when he was 17, he slipped backstage and asked the legendary percussionist if he could sit in. He did, and this experience spurred him on to make Latin jazz his career path. He attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston, graduating in 1979. Shortly after graduation, Sanabria formed his group Ascensión. Sanabria was honored with a National Endowment for the Arts grant in 1983. He was a featured performer on the Mambo Kings movie soundtrack, and he recorded with Mario Bauzá & His Afro-Cuban Jazz Orchestra on Bauzá's Tanga album. His TV work includes a public television documentary on the life of Mongo Santamaria and an appearance on The Bill Cosby Show.
