Cuban percussionist Jorge Carbonell has played with the Francisco Aguabella Memorial Latin Jazz Ensemble, featuring industry pros Sal Cracchiolo on trumpet, Benn Clatworthy on saxophone and flute, Brian Velasco on piano, Brian Wright on bass, and Christian Moraga on conga drums.
The ensemble carries on the tradition of its namesake, afro-Cuban percussionist Francisco Aguabella, who pursued a long and wide-ranging career in jazz and salsa. Aguabella, who died in May 2010, garnered the respect of musicians and music professors.
