Updates & Reviews On Line- by Nelson Rodriguez

Besides the two radio shows I do at KCLU & KXLU I have now joined up with commercial radio station KCLA to do a Sunday morning radio show and at Latin Beat we printed our last magazine as we join the web with Septembers issue. I just finished writing a piece on what should be the #1 CD of 2009 “Tributo 45 Aniversario” by the Mario Ortiz All Star Band that features Gilberto SantaRosa, Andy Montañez, Cheo Feliciano, Bobby Valentin, Tito Allen, Ismael Miranda, Adalberto Santiago, Papo Lucca, Primi Cruz, Elias Lopes, Anthony Cruz, Tony Vega, Richie Ray, Bobby Cruz, Roberto Roena, Ismale Rivera Jr. and all led by Mario Ortiz Jr. Could you believe they all did it for free in honor of one of the best bandleaders, arranger and trumpet players of all times…Mario Ortiz.
