For a special concert at the Central Park Zoo in 1993, vibraphonist <a href="spotify:artist:1fjoiNdVaX2czZSeiFLuCM">Dave Samuels</a> (who doubles on marimba) put together the Caribbean Jazz Project for the first time. Teaming <a href="spotify:artist:1fjoiNdVaX2czZSeiFLuCM">Samuels</a> with the brilliant (and pioneering) jazz steel drummer <a href="spotify:artist:5lFXWUhnMLnuubYAtgKKXa">Andy Narell</a> and saxophonist <a href="spotify:artist:30Mx3ZadPgGZTcs38FvYP8">Paquito d'Rivera</a> (who alternates between alto, clarinet, and soprano), and eventually joined by pianist Dario Eskenazi, bassist <a href="spotify:artist:6Vf5cM3kgPJWrDKoi1ONb3">Oscar Stagnaro</a>, and drummer <a href="spotify:artist:7kBStgKQQVLD8zwy9Xiaik">Mark Walker</a>, the group quickly developed a unique and highly appealing sound. Describing their goal as "a musical tour of the Caribbean," the band also ventures musically to several South American countries and <a href="spotify:artist:5RzjqfPS0Bu4bUMkyNNDpn">Dizzy Gillespie</a>-era New York. The Caribbean Jazz Project has toured on a part-time basis (recording a couple of fine sets for Heads Up) ever since. The band released its first live album, Here and Now, on Concord Jazz in 2005. The studio album Mosaic followed a year later, also on Concord. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
