    Five-time Grammy nominee and USA Fontanals Fellow, John Santos,
    and his stellar Sextet shed light on the historical and cultural
    significance of Latin Jazz, as well as its aesthetic
    characteristics pertaining to instrumentation, rhythm,
    interpretation and improvisation. Organized in 2003, they
    specialize in educational presentations from
    lecture/demonstrations to detailed clinics focusing on any number
    of relevant subjects such as composition, arrangement, rhythmic
    development, stylistic interpretation, studio performance, etc.
    Their repertoire consists of exciting arrangements from Cuba,
    Puerto Rico, and the US, as well as original compositions. Their
    first CD, Papa Mambo, was released on John’s Machete Records
    label in the Summer of 2007. Their second CD, Perspectiva
    Fragmentada, was released in October, 2008. Equally at home with
    a dance or concert repertoire, The John Santos Sextet presents a
    wide range of styles and rhythms for audiences of all ages.
