Jazz Brunch: Negroni's Trio May 24, 2009

Hailing from Puerto Rico, accomplished pianist and composer Jose Negroni has garnered recognition in the world of Jazz. A disciple of the legendary multi-instrumentalist salsa and Latin Jazz great, Papo Lucca, Negroni's career spans over 16 years as a teacher in his island's Music Conservatory. His talent then took him to the States where he worked as Director for Sony Music Publishing for ten years. Negroni's true passion never left him throughout and in 2002 he created Negroni's Trio, a truly amazing combination where jazz, classic lyricism and Afro Latin punches merge. Negroni's Trio consists of his son Nomar Negroni, a gifted drummer, and alternating guest bass players including John Benitez, Marco Panascia, Michael Bordelon and Jonathan Estes, amongst others.
