It isn’t far from Key West to Cuba, just 90 miles or so. But when a trio of acclaimed American jazzmen jam with chief musicians from our island nation neighbor, the distance and differences between our countries seem even smaller. Vibraphonist Stefon Harris, trumpeter Nicholas Payton, and saxophonist David Sánchez headline a Cuban-American collaboration that defies political boundaries. “He swings,” a New York Times reviewer writes about four-time Grammy Award nominee Harris. “And when he plays, he makes you feel good.” New Orleans-born Payton stands shoulder to shoulder with the best trumpeters from a city that has nurtured the gold standard of horn players. A native of Puerto Rico, the Grammy-winning Sánchez ranks as one of the finest, most progressive sax players of his generation.
