Salsa Con Jazz with Arturo Gómez presents a Father’s Day Special of Jonathan Powell’s Mambo Jazz Party broadcast on Sunday, June 16 at 3 p.m.

This performance of a new suite by Jonathan Powell and Mambo Jazz Party has been made possible with support from Chamber Music America’s New Jazz Works program funded through the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and is part of a Colorado tour that includes a performance at The Muse Performance Space in Lafayette tonight at 7 p.m.

Jonathan Powell’s new group Mambo Jazz Party draws from his 20-year freelance career as a trumpet player in the NYC salsa and Latin jazz scene. After being a member of Eddie Palmieri’s groups for 10 years as well as recording and performing with Arturo O’Farrill and the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra, Miguel Zenon Big Band, Oscar Hernandez and Spanish Harlem Orchestra, Ricky Martin, and Tito Puente Jr among many more, Jonathan’s love for the music runs deep.
