"Contemporary jazz doesn’t get more exciting than this … the music worked on numerous levels – as jazz, as Latin, as world music."

For more than a decade, trombonist Conrad Herwig has created a highly identifiable niche in contemporary jazz with his series of Latin Side CDs, which began with the startling “The Latin Side of John Coltrane.” The three-time Grammy©-nominated artist began his professional career in 1980 with the Clark Terry Big Band and later joined the Buddy Rich Orchestra for tours of the United States and Europe. After locating permanently in New York, he performed with Slide Hampton’s World of Trombones and Mario Bauzá’s Afro-Cuban Jazz Orchestra, as well as with the orchestras of Toshiko Akiyoshi, Mel Lewis, Bob Mintzer, Henry Threadgill, Miles Davis, Quincy Jones and Frank Sinatra.
