Barintone Saxophonist Dave Schumacher & Cubeye advance the Latin Jazz genre with an exciting 21st Century sensibility.

An accomplished and versatile, virtuoso baritone saxophone player, Chicago native Dave Schumacher has been a mainstay on the New York jazz scene for more than forty years. While Schumacher has given listeners a taste of his command of the Latin Jazz language on his previous efforts, here for the first time, leading his current working band that he's dubbed Cubeye, he offers a full album's worth of songs that advance the genre with an exciting 21st Century sensibility.
Assisting him in firing up the music on the disc by turns heated and warm, are likeminded 'musically bilingual' players - trumpeters Josh Evans and Jesus Ricardo, tenor and soprano saxophonist Peter Brainin, pianist Manuel Valera, bassist Alex 'Apolo' Ayala, drummer Joel Mateo and percussionist Mauricio Hererra - each one of whom is well known for being equally skilled in playing both jazz and Latin music as one can witness throughout. Drawing upon an aggregate of experience performing with the likes of Arturo O'Farrill, Hilton Ruiz, Papo Vazquez, Yosvany and Yunior Terry, Melvis Santa and the Mambo Legends Orchestra, their combined talents are instrumental in bringing Schumacher's cross-cultural vision to fruition.
