about
Jimmy Bosch, who was born to parents from Arecibo, Puerto Rico, was raised in Hoboken, NJ, lived in the Bronx, NY for twenty years, played in Salsa bands from the age of 13, and continuously re-invents the music of a culture with roots in many parts of the world. Tropical Music with a New York edge is unlike any musical experience anywhere. Once exposed to the Jimmy Bosch experience, there is no turning back to anything less. This is commonly the response from many people around the world as the band journeys throughout Europe and the United States. Bosch began playing trombone in 1970, and at age 13 this prodigious talent discovered the power of releasing energy through improvisation. Bosch frequented clubs in New York City with his trombone in hand. In 1978, while a student at Rutgers University, he was hired by Andy Gonzalez to work with Conjunto Libre, heralding the birth of a prolific career and extensive discography spanning well over two decades. Bosch has collaborated with the most stellar figures in Salsa including Cachao, Celia Cruz, Eddie Palmieri, Ray Barreto, the Machito Orchestra, Rubén Blades, Fania All-Stars, Willie Colón, Oscar D’Leon, and Marc Anthony. Landmark recordings in Salsa feature Bosch’s inimitable verve, and place him in the center of the Latin music movement. His figurative expressions in Salsa Clásica with Ray Barretto are his trademark. Bosch cements his relationship with the traditional yet intense horn sections of large Salsa bands on record
