Jonathan Powell’s new group Mambo Jazz Party draws from his 20 year freelance career as a trumpet player in the NYC salsa and latin jazz scene. After being a member of Eddie Palmieri’s groups for 10 years as well as recording and performing with Arturo O’Farrill and the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra, Miguel Zenon Big Band, Oscar Hernandez and Spanish Harlem Orchestra, Ricky Martin, and Tito Puente Jr among many more, Jonathan’s love for the music runs deep.

The members of Mambo Jazz Party are some of the hottest in the genre worldwide including legendary trombonist Jimmy Bosch (Ruben Blades, Eddie Palmieri, FANIA All Stars), Grammy nominated pianist Manuel Valera (Arturo Sandoval, Dafnis Prieto), flute player Itai Kriss (Televana, Los Hacheros, Orquesta Akokan), trombone player Ryan Keberle (Miguel Zenon, Maria Schneider), drummer Camilo Molina (Santana, Eddie Palmieri), conga player Marcos Torres (La India, Tito Nieves), bassist Alex Apolo Ayala (Eddie Palmieri, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Spanish Harlem Orchestra), saxophonist Remy Le Boeuf (Assembly of Shadows, Bob Mintzer Big Band) and Jonathan’s brother saxophonist Jeremy Powell (Eddie Palmieri, Arturo O’Farrill).
