UPDATE: New video by Tom Ehrlich - "Havana D' Primera... SABROSO" - A Latin Jazz descarga loosely based on Cachao's "Las Boinas". Here Alexander employs a clever call and response maneuver with his trumpet and the audience, after taking a monster solo. Piano and percussion solos follow.

The first of three Tom Ehrlich galleries of Havana d'Primera in the Bay Area is now up: Friday at Yoshi's SF. Still to come are Saturday at Yoshi's SF and Tuesday at Kuumbwa Jazz Center. And don't forget Peter Maiden's great work from the Saturday show. Finally, several more super high resolution, LPM-mastered videos are coming soon.
