All About Jazz recently posted an interview with Latin Jazz pianist Arturo O’Farrill, conducted by regular AAJ contributor R.J. DeLuke. It’s a lengthy article that dives into O’Farrill’s background and his development as a musician. DeLuke takes the time to talk with O’Farrill about Chico, Wynton Marsalis and Jazz At Lincoln Center, the Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra, and their move to the Symphony Space. O’Farrill also spends some time talking about his fundamental beliefs on jazz. It’s a great read, check it out HERE.

The Aspen Idea Festival occurs this week, gathering some of the world’s great minds to discuss their thoughts about moving the world in the right direction. On the arts end of the festival, the Aspen Institute has recruited one of the great minds in Latin Jazz, drummer and bandleader Bobby Sanabria. He’ll be talking about Latin music and jazz as well as discussing the premiere of a new PBS documentary, Latin Music USA. Sanabria always has something great to say, so get info about the festival HERE and information about the documentary HERE.
