Exciting and Rhythmic Latin Jazz
author: Chico Manqueros
                            
Mario Flores and his band are a swinging unit from the San Francisco Bay Area who play with that West Coast "Cool" feeling. Don't let that word "Cool" hold you back this band cooks and is very tight. They swing with that signature style of West Coast Latin Jazz...I enjoy both of their CD's very much and I am looking forward to more. Check out Mario's music on my show "Gozando with Chico" on www.EastLArevue.com - Keep celebrating the spirit of ritmo!
