A touring sideman with Arturo Sandoval and Dafnis Prietro for the last three years, Manuel currently leads an amazing all-star band called The New Cuban Express. Dubbed Jazz Cubano for Modern Times and comprised of six prominent young musicians, this group features a contemporary compositional take on the music of the island of Cuba as well as original pieces. “He leaves no doubt that he is destined to play a role in the future of jazz.” (Philip Van Vleck, Billboard)
