    1987. He had been playing with Ray Barretto&#146;s Salsa orchestra at the Village Gate in
    Manhattan. The musical style and the power behind his trombone were intoxicating. Between
    sets, as he made his way alone through the crowd, the opportunity to approach him
    presented itself. He was warm and friendly and graciously accepted the many compliments
    offered. We spoke at length about music and his career.</font></p>
    <p ALIGN="left"><font face="Arial" color="#FFFF00" size="2">Our paths began to
    cross and still do. He recently extended an invitation to attend a special event to
    celebrate the release of the CD entitled Soneando Trombon. Although Jimmy has been
    recorded many times what makes this release so special is the fact that he is the band 's
    leader; not just part of the band.</font><!--mstheme--></font></td>

    <td width="757" height="607" colspan="2" valign="top"><!--mstheme--><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica"><font face="Arial" color="#FFFF00" size="2">The event was held in New York&#146;s El Flamingo on 21<sup>st</sup>
    and the West Side Highway. The band had already begun by the time I arrived. It only took
    a moment to get into the groove being put down by the seasoned veterans of authentic,
    kick-butt Salsa. The orchestra was given the artistic freedom to improvise. They produced
    a sound we do not hear enough these days in light of the over abundance of today's cookie
    cutter method of presentation. The audience of dancers and listeners were equally
    delighted by the performance. </font><p><font face="Arial" color="#FFFF00" size="2">In attendance were musical giants like Johnny Pacheco, (Fania co-founder); Jose
    Fajardo, (legendary flautist); Jimmy Sabater,(veteran song stylist); Dave
    Valentin,(contemporary flautist); Andy Gonzalez, (bassist of Conjunto Libre fame); Nelson
    Moreno, (Los Hermanos Moreno); and Bobby Allende (recently part of The Cape Man orchestra)
    among others.</font></p>
    <p><font face="Arial" color="#FFFF00" size="2">&nbsp;Jimmy&#146;s CD is musical
    pleasure. The opening cut <b><i>Descargarana</i> </b>(as the name implies) is a real jam.
    There are many individual solos including that of Alfredo &quot;Chocolate&quot; Armenteros
    on trumpet, Louie Bauzo on Bongo, and Alfredo Valdez, Jr. on piano. Jimmy Sabater, Herman
    Olivera and Frankie Vazquez alternate vocal lines and styles. Pete &quot;El Conde&quot;
    Rodriguez also does lead vocals on a tune titled <i><b>La Soledad</b>.</i> His voice lends
    the quality we all loved in Salsa from years ago that makes this album more authentic than
    commercial. I was surprised to hear Jimmy singing portions of the lead on a couple of the
    cuts. Although he has a soulful delivery, singing is clearly not his forte.</font></p>
    <p><font face="Arial" color="#FFFF00" size="2">This CD will appeal to music
    aficionados who listen to Salsa for its musicianship, not for just a good beat that is
    danceable. Jimmy wrote nine of the ten tunes and arranged six of them. It is also
    heartening to hear a Cha Cha &#150;<i><b>Cha Cha Gabriel</b> </i>on the CD. It&#146;s a
    musical and dance form that has been overlooked for too long a time. We don&#146;t hear
    enough of Cha Cha and Son Montuno. Hopefully this style of music and dance will enjoy a
    revival thanks to Jimmy and Larry Harlow (who recorded <i><b>El Primero</b></i> and <i><b>El
    Jamaiquino </b></i>on his recent CD entitled <i><b>Latin Legends 1998</b>).</i> </font></p>
    <p><font face="Arial" color="#FFFF00" size="2">For those of you not familiar
    with the name of Jimmy Bosch you are more likely than not to have heard and possibly seen
    him play. In the recent past he has served, as musical director for Marc Anthony&#146;s
    band and as part of La India&#146;s horn line. In addition his credits include playing
    with the orchestras of Eddie Palmieri, Ruben Blades, Celia Cruz, Israel &quot;Cachao&quot;
    Lopez, Perfecta Combinacion and of course Manny Oquendo&#146;s Libre. </font></p>
    <p><font face="Arial" color="#FFFF00" size="2">Jimmy Bosch's <i><b>Soneando
    Trombon</b></i> was recorded on the RYKO LATINO label. Look for it at your favorite record
    shop. Lovers of classic Salsa stylization must ad this to their collections. Ask for it if
    it is not immediately available.</font><!--mstheme--></font></td>
