The Sound of Jazz Puertorriqueño

“The Sound of Jazz Puertorriqueño” captures the wide range of flavors that define Puerto Rican jazz, blending classic Latin rhythms with bebop, funk, bomba, plena, and Afro-Caribbean influences. With standout tracks like Charlie Sepúlveda and Pj Sin Suela’s “Si Esto Sigue,” Giovanni Hidalgo’s conga-laced “Summertime,” and Pedro Guzmán’s jíbaro-style improvisation on “Verde Luz,” the playlist bridges traditional roots with genre-expanding experimentation.

From the salsa-inspired swing of Bobby Valentín’s “El Muñeco de la Ciudad” to the urban edge of Henry Cole’s “Si Va’llover,” this mix showcases both veteran legends and innovative newer voices. It offers instrumental jams, live recordings, intimate boleros like Miguel Zenón’s “Cómo Fue,” and jazz big band arrangements like “Song for Bilbao” by the Inter Metro Jazz Big Band. It’s a snapshot of how Puerto Rican artists continue to shape and stretch the sound of jazz from the island and beyond.
