Amigos Juntos

"Amigos Juntos"
Arturo O'Farrill & The Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra
Composed by Mario Rivera
Arranged by Todd Bashore

Mario Rivera was a founding member of the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra; a revered virtuosic multi-instrumentalist and beloved mentor to countless musicians. The evening featured guest artists who loved and worked with Rivera including George Coleman, Ray Vega, Papo Vazquez & Phoenix Rivera. The program included a re-creation of Rivera's classic recording, El Commandante.

"Mario was a musician and a gentleman, a philosopher and scientist. He spoke gently and commanded the stage with his giant presence on any number of instruments, such as trumpet, vibes, all the saxophones, timbales, and flutes. He was way beyond category; he was a musician's musician."
- Arturo O'Farrill
