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
