The Jazz Session: Bobby Sanabria
Posted 21 May, 2007 in Jazz, Music, Podcast, The Jazz Session
Jason Crane interviews percussionist, bandleader, composer and educator Bobby Sanabria. Sanabria is a living link to the great Afro-Cuban jazz tradition. He’s played with just about everyone, including Dizzy Gillespie, Tito Puente, Paquito D’Rivera, Charles McPherson, Mongo Santamaria, Chico O’Farrill and Mario Bauza. He’s also a Grammy-nominated solo artist and a powerful force in bringing the Afro-Cuban tradition into the 21st century. This interview features a sneak peek at his new album, Big Band Urban Folktales (Jazzheads, 2007), which hits stores in June.

Today is the birthday of Bertrand Russell, the philosopher who wrote the extremely influential book Why I Am Not A Christian
“The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.”
Hard to go wrong with a philosphy like that.
Respect!
