As a New York freelance musician, today’s guest has played more gigs and, in more situations, than he could possibly ever list, but moving to New York in the early 80's a lot of young players started gigging in the Latin circuit which was huge at that time. A player could work with multiple Latin groups and multiple gigs in one night, often not finishing before the sun came up. It was through these gigs that he met many players in other bands, and eventually found his way to playing many engagements with Latin artists such as Celia Cruz, Tito Puentes and Dave Valentin. In the ’90s he fronted a contemporary fusion group of his original music and arrangements led by Tenor and Bass trombones and released a sampler CD. Upon hearing his CD Jazziz magazine voted him one of the top 10 unsigned jazz artists in the country and released a compilation CD which included his original composition “Night Child”.
International recording artist and founder of Hip-Bone Music, Michael Davis writes about our guest saying that he “...brings his A-game as instrumentalist, composer, and arranger to his dynamic new release “Into The Night”.
It is my honor to introduce today’s guest, Eric Goletz.
