Drummer, percussionist, bandleader and composer: No matter what hat Bobby Sanabria may wear, his goal is always to create music with style, grace, and a deep-seated sense of commitment. Bobby’s 2007 album, Big Band Urban Folktales (Jazzheads), included his distinctive treatments of Frank Zappa’s “The Grand Wazoo” along with pop standards like “Besame Mucho” and “Since I Fell For You” – and earned a Grammy Award nomination for Best Latin Jazz Album. He’s also featured on El Espiritu Jibaro (Sunnyside), co-starring trombonist Roswell Rudd and cuatro virtuoso Yomo Toro. ”One of the most informed, astute and passionate champions of Afro-Cuban music on the scene today…” (Fernando Gonzalez, Down Beat). |
