Workshop @ the Drummer's Collective 11/15/01

These three tunes are excerpts from a workshop conducted by flautist Andrea Brachfeld at the Drummer's Collective in NYC. Andrea made her reputation playing with bands such as Charanga 76, one of the better NY style Charanga bands to emerge in that decade. The band features Ruben Rodriguez on bass, Memo Acevedo on tims, John Berdeguer on congas and Bob Quaranta on piano. I believe the drummer is Kim (?) but I'm not sure.

Andrea Brachfeld at Willie's Steakhouse

Those of you who have been around for a little while may remember Andrea as the flautist for Charanga 76. She has been in the fore front of the Latin Jazz movement in NYC for quite some time now. Here she presents her quintet at Willie's featuring Bob Quaranta on keyboards.
