Chicago Afro-Latin Jazz Ensemble

CHICAGO AFRO-LATIN JAZZ ENSEMBLE
15-PIECE LATIN JAZZ BIG BAND

The Chicago Afro-Latin Jazz Ensemble offers a big band experience that most cities can’t afford, but most likely, musicians and listeners across the country would love to own. The rest of us will just need to remain envious and imagine the treat that Chicago gets to experience.  — Chip Boaz, Latin Jazz Corner

Victor and Darwin are very courageous! The Chicago Afro-Latin Jazz Ensemble offers great tunes, modern harmonies, wonderful soloists and sharp ensemble performances— all with a groove that inspires dancing and a great evening on the town. — Marshall Vente, Pianist/Host of Jazz Tropicale 90.9 fm WDCB

With musicians of this caliber playing such hot arrangements— it’s easy to see why the band sounds so tasty and good.  With the abilities of the players, the vision and drive of co-founders Garcia and Noguera, and the evident desire of this band to climb even higher pinnacles in their playing and arrangements combined together, leads me to believe that there is nothing stopping this band from achieving their goal of becoming the world class Latin Jazz band that Chicago both needs and deserves. — Brad Walseth, Jazz Chicago
