trumpetAbout
Trumpeter Eddie Allen leads Sãlongo, a seven-piece Afro-Cuban/Brazilian group that combines Mongo Santamaria's rhythmic lattice work, with Brazilian beats, the harmonic concepts of contemporary jazz, and the commercial veneer of Santana. Allen himself is known for his versatility across jazz, R&B, Latin, symphonic and Broadway genres. Eddie has collaborated with legends like Art Blakey, Dizzy Gillespie, and Benny Carter. Sãlongo is a 3-piece horn section of seasoned jazz talents combined with a rhythmically diverse rhythm section of Central and South American talent. The entire ensemble will showcase their improvisational skills and their ability to play rhythms from all over the world. ...
