Portland Jazz Orchestra presents El Rey del Timbal February 12, 2010

Tito Puente — the charismatic Juilliard-trained "King of Timbales," an icon, integral in sparking (and fueling) the genre's firey popularity over several decades — remains one of the most prolific and accessible composers in Latin jazz history. PJO warms up the winter with an evening of extra spicy mambo from the Lifetime Grammy Achievement award winner.
