"In sheer colour and variety, in the depth of characterization and the exceptional range and refinement of his playing, Oscar Hernández here imparts a powerful stature..." - LATIN JAZZ NETWORK. Now in the middle of a towering career as founder & leader of the Spanish Harlem Orchestra, musical director for Rubén Blades, and pianist, arranger and producer for some of the biggest names in Contemporary Latin music, three-time Grammy winner Oscar Hernández turns to his working quintet to present "Love the Moment."
Pulling from several lifetimes worth of musical experiences, Hernandez penned ten spirited originals to perform with his Los Angeles-based ensemble, featuring the legendary saxophonist Justo Almario, along with drummer Jimmy Branly, bassist Oscar Cartaya, and percussionist Christian Moraga. San Diego trumpeter Gilbert Castellanos and violinist Dayren Santamaria make striking contributions as special guests.
