The first report will focus on the Afro-Caribbean Music groups at the festival and some time in the future a feature story on the Pedrito Martinez Group by Kevin Moore will be posted.
Traditionally the Afro-Caribbean Music presented at the festival has been either jazz groups or orchestras which play dance music for listening such as Tito Puente. This year for the first time I am aware of, the festival had a salsa dance group every night where the audience was encouraged to dance. The group was Christian Pepin &. Orquesta Bembé, a Bay Area All Star group which played every night of the festival, each night being a different set of music. Pianist Jonathan Montes was the only musicain who was not from the Bay Area - originally from Puerto Rico now residing in Los Angeles. [Tom Ehrlich]
Friday's group consisted of:
Christian Pepín - leader, percussion and coros
Karl Perazzo - percussion and coros
Ernesto Mazar-Kindelán - bass and coros
Jonathan Montes - piano and coros
Christelle Durandy - vocals
Braulio Barrera - vocals
Bill Ortega - trumpet
Oscar Soltero - percussion and coros
*This year's report on the Monterey Jazz Festival is presented late due to problems with the timba.com website.
