ClaveMania with Paul Van Ross

January 2014.

One of my recent exciting collaborations has been joining forces (musically) with the Newly formed Latin band “ClaveMania”.

I joined them in a month residency in Melbourne town. Such a pleasure to be playing original Latin music with two wonderful percussionists using cajon, bata drums, timbales, and many other hand percussion.

Also a great opportunity for me to get reacquainted with my soprano saxophone.

Jonathan Cohen – piano
Elizabeth Obando – Bass
Toby Bender – drums, percussion
Rodolfo Hecheverria Panga – percussion
Paul Van Ross – flute & saxophone

Happy times….and hot weather. Never sweated so much on a gig (40 degrees C).
