Navedo's playing is both ethereal and powerful, occasionally adding bits of melodic levity not unlike Sonny Rollins' frolicsome playing. His bell-like tone and tight playing adds both a strong jazz and a punchy Latin spice to the band's sound. Navedo, who pre-Ta Mére played with Son Yuma, studied and played in Cuba, adding to his solid knowledge of Latin jazz. - The Austin Chronicle

Bio
Born in Puerto Rico, raised in New Orleans; with such a rich musical background in which to grow up, Michel took to the trumpet at age 9 and began his quest for enlightenment and fulfillment through the art of song. Studied in Jazz, Afro Cuban, Brazllian, Classical, and Composition, Michel Navedo's focus on on the trumpet lies in melody, tone, and improvisation. Look forward to an incredible Jazz release this year from Michel, "New Orleans On My Mind". Bringing a heart felt and lyrical approach to some smoky originals, the album's sultry southern swing is both elegant and eloquent. It is unlike any Jazz album heard in recent times.
