Saxophonist & composer Jonathan Suazo celebrates the album release of "RICANO Vol. 2 – Fruto De Mi Corazón" (Miel Music) at The Jazz Gallery on Nov 12th!⁠

⁠Coining the term “Ricano” to honor the vibrant intersection of his Puerto Rican and Dominican heritage, Suazo's music brings intellectual depth, harmonic sophistication, and emotional storytelling of Caribbean modern jazz – where rich Afro-Caribbean grooves coexist with lyrical grace. ⁠
