Product Details

Puerto Rican and Dominican roots run deep in Jonathan Suazo's saxophone work, where Afro-Caribbean rhythmic traditions meet the harmonic language of contemporary jazz. *Ricano* positions him squarely in a lineage of Latin jazz artists who refuse to separate their cultural inheritance from their forward momentum, drawing on the rhythmic vocabularies of bomba, merengue, and beyond without treating them as mere seasoning.

Jonathan Suazo is a Puerto Rican Saxophonist / Composer / Flow Artist. His music highlights traditional rhythms from his Puerto Rican / Dominican roots and ancestry within a Cross-Cultural Fusion container of his many musical influences. He's been named one of the Top Ten Emerging Jazz Artists of 2023 by The Recording Academy. He’s a 2023 Winter South Arts Jazz Road Artist and a 2023 New Music USA Creator Fund Recipient.
