Sweet-Heat Latin Jazz Band in Los Angeles Latin & World-beat Rhythms
       

Reynaldo Pedroso

Sweet≈Heat plays a blend of high energy world-beat music that includes influences of Afro-Cuban, Brazilian, and World music as well as "Latinized" Jazz standards in a highly entertaining and danceable presentation. Its music appeals to new audiences because of the band’s infectious enthusiasm.  They can play cool or hot depending on the venue but always with a toe tapping groove..

Their repertoire includes compositions by Tito Puente, Cal Tjader, Mongo Santamaria, Chano Pozo,  Israel Lopez "Cachao", Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Herbie Mann, Horace Silver, Eddie Palmieri, A.C. Jobim, Mario Bauza, Art Webb, and more (see Acknowledgements).
