I specialize in quality live music as a one man band, since 2007. I am also the Band leader of the Latin Rhythms Band (since 1995) and the Soft Note Combo (since 1996) performing as a jazz trumpeter, keyboardist, and vocalist in Alabama and the Southeast (Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, including Texas). I also specialize in playing keyboard and Honer melodica in my one man shows for more show variety which covers wedding receptions, corporate events, fundraisers, and private parties. My music is composed of jazz, Latin, Brazilian, salsa grooves, and some pop music. I sing in English, Spanish, and Portuguese (for the Brazilian music). I also play mariachi trumpet with the Three Amigos.

From my one band concept to employing more musicians I can offer a broad range of solutions for your musical/entertainment needs for your event. I can provide:
One Man Band - variety of music, cozy events, background music, dinner music, corporate events, fundraisers.

Soft Note Combo - 3 to 4 musicians, lively, danceable, larger venues, wedding receptions, corporate events, balls, parties. Music here will be composed of jazz and soft salsa including merengue (low key), Brazilian, and pop standards.

Latin Rhythms Band - 6 to 7 musicians, robust energetic sounds, dance music, salsa, merengue, Latin rock, club scene, outdoor festivals (e.g., Birmingham's City Stages, Panoply, etc.).

The Three Amigos - 3 musicans performing classic mariachi music with uniforms, traditional folk music, Spanich lyrics, lively presence!

Since 1996 I have been the band leader for the 4 piece Soft Note Combo (softnotecombo.com) and the seven piece Latin Rhythms Band (latinrhythmsband.com) since 1995. In 2003 & 2004 the Soft Note Combo twice was the opening act for the world renowned Glenn Miller Orchestra at the Von Braun Center (VBC) in Huntsville Alabama. In 2007 and 2008 the Latin Rhythms Band was the opening act at the VBC, respectively, for Cuban saxophonist Paquito D’Rivera (and his Latin band with the Huntsville Symphony Orchestra conducted by Mexico’s Carlos Miguel Prieto) and flautist (flute) Nestor Torres (and his Latin Cuban band). Both artists are Latin Grammy winners in the Latin Jazz genre.

The first CD for the Latin Rhythms Band is titled “Lost Paradise” and was released in 2004 featuring the styles of Latin Jazz, salsa, meringue, bachata, bolero, guaguanco, and originals. The first CD for the Soft Note Combo is titled “Sketches of Latin Rhythms” and was released in 2007 and features the styles of jazz, Latin jazz, samba, originals, and salsa & rock flavors including tropical and bossa nova (music can be sampled at the Soft Note website http://softnotecombo.com.
