O’s Notes: Irvin Mayfield (t) and Bill Summers (percussion) continue to improve with Los Hombres Calientes, The addition of “El Negro” Henandez (d) brings more Latin, mambo beats. Add that to the New Orleans march updated with a funk infusion. They also play some Caribbean reggae and have the ability to chill as on “Corcavado”. This is the band that has been exciting audiences everywhere!
