Rome Neal's Banana Puddin' Jazz
Bobby Sanabria
The last Sunday of every month Bobby Sanabria presents his New School Afro-Cuban Jazz Band. Sanabria is a professor of music at the New School, and the students that make up the band are the next generation in the music scene. Sanabria helps them keep the traditions of Afro-Cuban music alive, and they play the classic compositions of Chano Pozo, Tito Puente, Dizzy Gillespie and Mario Bauza.
The Nuyorican Poets Cafe would like to thank The Gibson Company for their very generous long-term loan of a beautiful Baldwin upright piano.
