Big Band Urban Folktales Kenya Revisited Live!!!
Influences: What the Press is saying:

"...Mr. Sanabria expands the posssibilites, moving the sound of bands like that of Puente, Machito, with all the heft and intricacy and clave based dance rhythm, into the harmonically oriented sophistication of current New york jazz players. It's New York up and down, and back and forth across the last century, from the street to the mambo palaces to the conservatories."
- Ben Ratliff, The New York Times

Bobby's latest recording, Big Band Urban Folktales -"The ultimate fusion disc."
- Dan Oulette, Downbeat

"Sanabria is one of the most informed, astute and passionate champions of Afro-Cuban music on the scene today. Sanabria's 19 piece big band smokes, fresh, high energy emotional, but unsentimental and strong. He is an artist ready to take his place in the continuum."
- Fernando Gonzalez, Downbeat
