I don't get much downtime, that's for sure. We generally make three separate tours of Europe each year alone. Then there's Asia and other foreign countries as well as plenty of gigs in the U.S. My son books all my dates and he does a wonderful job, so I can't complain about my schedule.

I can tell you that it's just a sad day, a sad day for the Latin music industry, ... Tito was known all over the world.

Same, just the same. Nine pieces ---- a trumpet, two trombones, reed, congas, drums, piano and vocalist. That's what a Latin jazz orchestra should be.

We'll be playing nothing but dance music and after you hear what we play, it's so danceable, you can't sit still. That the way it works wherever we go.
