The best of both worlds when Latin meets jazz. The Craig Russo Latin Jazz Project is a fresh mix of outstanding jazz soloists, rich, Afro-Cuban inspired rhythms and unique arrangements of jazz standards. The group is led by drumset artist and percussionist Craig Russo, who has a special interest in Afro-Cuban music styles. Craig has traveled to Cuba extensively to study at the prestigious National School of Arts in Havana. He toured Cuba with the all-star Midwest Cuban music group "Charanga Tropical," the first American group invited to perform at Cuba's prestigious, International Festival of Danzon.
