This young musician and composer is at once reestablishing the artistic, cultural and social tradition of jazz while creating an entirely new jazz language for the 21st century. Saxophone sensation Miguel Zenon was born and raised in Puerto Rico. In his relatively short but illustrious career, he has performed and/or recorded with such greats as David Sanchez, Charlie Haden, The Village Vanguard Orchestra, The Mingus Big Band, Jerry Gonzalez and the Fort Apache Band, Steve Coleman and a host of others. In 2004, Zenon became a founding member of the SF Jazz Collective, an octet whose members include Joshua Redman, Nicholas Payton, Joe Lovano, Dave Douglas and Brian Blade.

In 2006, the readers of Jazz Times Magazine named him Best New Artist of the Year. Awake, his fourth recording was released in April 2008.

The band is:

Miguel Zenon, alto sax
Luis Perdomo, piano
Hans Glawischnig, bass
Henry Coles, drums
Hector “Tito” Matos, lead vocals & percussion
Juan Gutierrez , vocals & percussion
Obanilu  Allende, vocals & percussion
