---------------------------------
The Afro-Caribbean Jazz Collective is a band that takes traditional Afro-Caribbean music and adds a modern jazz twist. Their music is a fusion of traditional and modern sounds, creating a unique and exciting listening experience. Their upbeat sound is both familiar and fresh, appealing to fans of both genres. Their music is a celebration of Afro-Caribbean culture, and it is sure to get your feet tapping.
The Collective was created by the band's guitarist, Jose Guzman, during his graduate studies at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The band's music is influenced by a variety of genres, including Cuban Son, Puerto Rican Bomba, and Caribbean Jazz. One of the things that makes The Afro-Caribbean Jazz Collective so unique is their use of the electric guitar and syncopated drumming. Giving their music a more modern feel, while the traditional Afro-Caribbean rhythms keep it grounded in its roots. The Collective had the amazing opportunity to include Chicago jazz veterans Victor Garcia and Tito Carillo.
