Kiki Sanchez "Big Band Jazz Project"

    MIAMI, FL, July 29, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Kiki Sanchez Announces the Release of the Single, "Too Many Notes"

The extraordinary producer, composer, arranger, and pianist Luis Enrique "Kiki" Sanchez has released "Too Many Notes," his latest single and the first track of the forthcoming "Kiki Sanchez Big Band Jazz Project", a project featuring his arrangements and compositions.

The underlying concept is the combination of bebop melody, modern Cuban Timba beat and innovation of Afro-Peruvian Festejo, featuring multipercussionist Hugo Bravo on the Cajon, Batajones, Checo & Bass Cajon. Sanchez' vision is to incorporate Peruvian Rhythms/instruments into Big Band music style. The CD will also feature younger musicians from the Miami area, a melting pot of players from the US, Peru, Dominican Republic, Cuba, and Venezuela.

Featured on the album are Edilio Bermudez (Bass), Peter Francis (Trumpet), Jorge Dobal (Trombones), Ismael Vergara (Saxes), Reinier Guerra (Drums), Daniel Berroa (Percussion), and Hugo Bravo (Afro-Peruvian Percussion)
