SUMMARY:Omar Sosa Quarteto Americanos
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Josh Jones\, Sheldon Brown\, and Ernesto Mazar Kindelán \nQuarteto Americanos is Omar Sosa’s first U.S.-based jazz ensemble since the 1990s!  Featuring drummer Josh Jones\, bassist Ernesto Mazar Kindelán\, and saxophone / clarinet / flute player Sheldon Brown\, the group came together in February 2021 when Omar was in the Bay Area for several live streams.  Connecting with Josh and Sheldon was a gratifying reunion for Omar\, as he played extensively with them during his early days in San Francisco and Oakland in the late 1990s.  Josh Jones’ Trio at the time\, including Omar and bassist Geoff Brennan\, played frequently at Bay Area clubs.  Josh remains one of Omar’s favorite drummers – a versatile musician and educator equally at home in Latin\, jazz\, hip-hop\, and fusion styles.  Sheldon Brown was a member of Omar’s first Septet ensemble in the Bay Area\, performing in San Francisco and Oakland and around the world in support of Omar’s earliest recording projects\, ‘Free Roots’\, ‘Spirit of the Roots’\, and ‘Bembón’\, also known as the Roots Trilogy.  Sheldon is a talented composer\, arranger and producer whose first recording\, ‘Shifting Currents‘\, caught Omar’s ear when he first moved to San Francisco in 1995.  Ernesto Mazar Kindelán is a dynamic Cuban musician who came to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2014 following a ten-year stint with Charanga Habanera\, the celebrated Cuban timba band from Havana. \nOmar’s Quarteto Americanos plays a number of arrangements of Omar’s signature compositions from his early career\, including ‘My Three Notes’\, ‘Angustia’\, and ‘Toridanzón’\, as well as new songs written by Omar in Barcelona during the lockdown in 2020.  Like Omar’s oeuvre\, Quarteto Americanos’ repertoire is eclectic and energizing.  Its improvisational approach seamlessly fuses elements of jazz\, Latin\, hip-hop\, and electronica into an exciting\, passionate\, contemporary sound.
