"Trombone master Doug Beavers is a rising force in Latin jazz who's a triple threat as a soloist, arranger and bandleader. A product of the local scene (he studied with Dave Eshelman at Cal State East Bay, nee Hayward), Beavers earned a spot in jazz history when he played a crucial role in Eddie Palmieri's Grammy-winning revival of his trombone-powered La Perfecta ensemble. Championing his oft-overlooked horn with Titanes del Trombón, Beavers has assembled an all-star band featuring fellow 'bone experts Wayne Wallace and Abel Figueroa. With Bronx-raised Carlos Rosario providing the hard-hitting vocals, the Titanes deliver take-no-prisoners salsa dura."

 "Titanes del Trombón" is Doug Beavers' next CD project, coming soon!
