Trombonist and composer Vazquez brings his Pirates Troubadours ensemble consisting of Willie Williams (sax), Zaccai Curtis (piano), John Benitez (bass), Anthony Carrillo (congas) and Victor Jones (drums). Papo’s trombine style combines elements of Jazz, Afro-Caribbean rhythms to create his special blend of Latin Jazz. He is considered by many as one of the pioneers of Afro Puerto Rican Jazz which is a mix of Puerto Rican Bomba, Plena and Jibaro music.
