O’s Notes: The Puppeteers are a formidable quartet consisting of Bill Ware (vibes), Arturo O’Farrill (p), Alex Blake (b) and Jaime Affoumado “Puppethead” (d). Each member contributes at least one original along with “Not Now Right Now” by Papo Vasquez. This is their debut recording and it fresh and alive. It is also the first recording from Puppets Records, sure to parallel the success of the former Brooklyn jazz club Puppets also run by Affoumado for 7 years to May 2011. Jaime is off to a great start!
