Papo Vazquez - Pirates Troubadours / Piratas Trovadores
Papo Vazquez Mighty Pirate Orchestra
All About Jazz - Marooned/Aislado 2008
by Jerry D'Souza
Trombonist Vazquez has the innate ability
of letting his music breathe and speaking eloquently.
It turns on the anvil he calls Afro Puerto Rican Jazz,
but he blends in several idioms that make up Latin jazz.
More, he fleshes the music with swing and bop,
letting the whole coalesce into rich orchestral textures.
His skill as an arranger also leaves a soloist
enough room to make an impact.
The orchestration is top-notch, turning
this into an extraordinary experience.
Judging from the music, the Painted Bride Center
was where the heat was blazing that evening.

The Mighty Pirates Live
At The Painted Bride
Art Center
Editor's Pick:
The trombonist Vazquez moved a
big band into the Painted Bride Art
Center in Philadelphia in March of last year, and put
together a recording that offers a blueprint for some
of the possibilities in the mash up of jazz and Latin
music. A major piece of work.

Papo Vazquez and Pirates Troubadours
By Ezra Gale Miami News Times
Although his name is not as heralded as Eddie
Palmieri, Tito Puente, or Fort Apache Band founders
Jerry and Andy Gonzalez, New York-based trombonist
Papo Vazquez is as central to the development of Latin
jazz as any of those legendary figures. The virtuosic
trombonist has been an important part of the New
York scene since the mid-Seventies, when he was a
regular at the Nuyorican Cultural Center in lower
Manhattan.
