Christian de Mesones
With his project "BIG NEW YORK & the Smooth Jazz All-Starz", Christian continued to wow audiences with his personal vision. Said de Mesones, when asked about his vision, "Everyone gets a spotlight in this band. I like to create excitement sonically, and that means mixing it up, so the listening audience can get its money's worth."
Christian has released three singles independently, beginning with "Good Old Days" in 2015. “Latin Jive Redux,” a 2017 remix of the Groove Skool song “Latin Jive”, went to #55 on Billboard and #1 in the UK. It has remained in the top 10 for over a year on both the Moth FM/UK and 96.8 the Oasis in the USA. His 2018 release "Spirit " has climbed up to #12 with a bullet on the Smooth Jazz Media Base chart. His debut solo project, "They Call Me Big New York", is his Latin, funk, and rock-inspired multi-dimensional passion project, and is slated for release in July 2019.
