🚨 IT’S OUT!! 🚨 My new album The Latin Side of Jazz Guitar is finally HERE and streaming everywhere!! 🎸🌍🔥

This has been a long, emotional journey (years in the making) and today I’m proud to share it with you all. 🙌🏽

This project was born out of deep curiosity and reflection… What could the Latin side of jazz guitar sound like? Each track explores that question: blending the soul of Afro-Caribbean rhythms (clave, montunos, tumbaos) with the harmonic language of jazz. It’s a conversation between tradition and innovation, identity and sound.

Leaving Puerto Rico in 2022 to move to Chicago gave me a new lens through which to see myself, my culture, and my purpose as an artist. This album is a love letter to both my roots and the global language of jazz.

🎧 Go stream it now, and let me know what you feel.

🖤 To everyone who brought this music to life - thank you.

🎶 To my wife Crystal Santiago - your belief in me made this possible.

👑 To my brothers in music: William Garcia, Jesús Colón, Tommy Lee Ramos & Roy McGrath - you all brought the fire.

🙏🏽 To Andy Shoemaker, Julio “El Padrino” Gonzalez, and Giovany Revelle - thank you for capturing the magic.

Let’s celebrate this moment.
Let the music speak.
