Arturo. A one man musical phenomenon. His band? All Miami-based Cubans: Javier Conception on piano, Tomas Cruz on congas and percussion, drummer Alexis Arce and saxophonist and EWI (electric wind instrument) player Ed Calle. Arturo: Trumpet, piano, keyboard, timbales, jaw harp, scatting that turns into a vocalized bass solo and the occasional strategically placed hit of a stick on the bongos as he passes by them on the stage.

Like the kind of thunderstorm that comes on such hot, muggy days he roared through the evening and was gone.
