Jim Munoz and Mambop

Mambo and Be-Bop, the pulsing rhythms that make up the music of Jim Munoz's MAMBOP Latin Jazz Band is an exciting combination of driving Cuban and Puerto Rican Mambos and American Bebop Jazz as well as "Salsa Dura" Hard Salsa. MAMBOP's playlist has been selected to emphasize the fiery side of Latin Jazz that makes people want to dance as well as appreciate the artistry of jazz melodies. All of MAMBOP's band members are experienced musicians as well as young hot upcoming jazz players from local area schools. The band was founded by timbale player Jim Munoz and trombone player Jeff Austerman. They had been playing with local musicians and with the Chafee college jazz band where they met. Jeff has since moved on to a busy teaching career at a local High School.
