The comparison is inevitable. How could it be otherwise? Tito Puente Jr. carries his father with him – imprinted on his physical being and locked in his soul. It’s in his looks, his joy, and his music. 

Tito, Jr. is on a passionate mission. The younger Puente is determined to nurture the musical legacy left by his father. He refuses to let his father become a distant memory. “He was just too vibrant, too exciting. There was magic in the music my father made. It made people happy all over the world.”

He has found captive audiences who echo his passion. Crowds lured to a venue by the father are returning to see the son -- and to once again participate in the high voltage celebration that takes place on stage.
 Tito Puente, Jr. has become an audience favorite in casinos, performing arts centers, symphony halls and jazz festivals worldwide, performing more than 300 shows over the past 5 years. 

His 2004 album, “In My Father’s Shoes” featured the classic Puente titles and was spun into a BET Jazz television special of the same name.

He was seen in a tribute to his father’s music on NBC’s two hour special--“The Apollo at 70: A Hot Night in Harlem.” He has also appeared on the ABC soap opera hit “One Life to Live” in performance with his big band.

Symphony appearances include Dallas, San Antonio, Colorado, South Bend, and upcoming performances with the Palm Desert Symphony and the National Symphony Orchestra conducted by Marvin Hamlisch.

Tito, Jr.’s new CD release, “Got Mambo?” is a mixture of the old and the new as he takes a musical departure into some powerful new music he can truly call his own. Guest artists Bobby Cruz and Hansel & Raul help make this a coming of age project for Puente, Jr. and the album is receiving heavy praise from Tropical and Latin Jazz critics alike. 

Tito Jr. reveres the magnificent, lasting impact his father had on our musical lives. “People who don’t know anything about Latin music know my father and people always, always smile when they say my father’s name,” he confides. “That is a very special gift I have been given.”

When it comes to the bass, 2-time Grammy-nominated Bunny Brunel is the master and a musician's musician! From defining his signature style on fretless, upright, and electric basses, to authoring numerous instructional books on bass technique and theory, there is no end to Brunel’s musical mind. But how many legendary virtuoso instrumentalists do you know who not only design their instruments, but build them, too? Having designed for Carvin for over 25 years, Brunel is now a designer for ESP Guitars. He also created and custom built the Rolls Royce of basses—the Bunny Brunel Electric Upright Bass (BBEUB). As if that weren’t enough, Bunny has composed music with lush arrangements on his releases from the start of his career on his first album Touch (1978) to his two latest, titled Invent Your Future (2015) and the historical CD Bass Ball (2017) that features bass players is a co-production with Stanley Clarke; and somewhere in the middle, his Band CAB earned a Grammy nomination for CAB 2 Best Contemporary Jazz Album. He also scores films, and collaborated and performed the theme for Clint Eastwood’s Oscar-winning masterpiece The Unforgiven. But most importantly, Bunny is known around the world as one of the four great bassists who started the jazz-fusion bass movement (with Stanley Clarke, Jaco Pastorius, and Jeff Berlin). Born in the South of France, Bernard Bunny Brunel’s first instrument was the piano, and because his mother was a huge jazz fan, he was exposed to jazz at a very young age. He was able to play jazz chords by ear. "While I was attending a specialized college for hotels, I found a classical guitar, where the headstock was broken. I had it remade by a cabinetmaker friend of mine and played guitar in a band. I was about 15 years old at the time. I knew about 3 or 4 chords and that’s how it started. I was asked to rent a bass for a new bass player who never showed up for rehearsal and ended up playing the bass. That was the day I became a bass player—and I loved it!” Bunny attended the Classical Conservatory in Nice, France, to learn bowing technique, but was mostly a self taught bass player who drew his influences from Sam Jones, Ray Brown, Ron Carter, Eddy Gomez, Miroslav Vitous, and Stanley Clarke. In his early 20s, while playing at the world famous Ronnie Scott’s Club in London with Tania Maria, Yes/ Moody Blues keyboardist Patrick Moraz introduced Bunny to fusion keyboardist Chick Corea. Once Chick heard Bunny play, a few months later he hired him to record on his Grammy-nominated album Secret Agent . Bunny played with Chick Corea for almost a decade, and has since played with Tony Williams, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Dizzy Gillespie, Al Jarreau, Stevie Wonder, Ziggy Marley, Gloria Estefan, Jack De Johnette, Natalie Cole, Stanley Clarke, Milt Jackson, Steve Grossman, and countless more. Having graced the covers of popular magazines, including(PN'P) Plug N Play, Bass Musician, Bassics; and numerous features inBass Player, No Treble, Bassiste, For Bass Players Only, Abstract Logix, Fretless Bass, Guitar 9, Jazztimes, Global Bass Online, Talk Bass, just to name a few, Bunny Brunel also enjoys being the Editor at Large of Virtuoso Bass, the premier lifestyle magazine for bassists.This rare musician is a melodic writer; he creates memorable music with modal changes and dexterous playing. His creations transcend most recordings from the fusion genre simply because . . .even with Brunel's mind-blowing execution and profound changes —as complex as his music is—you walk away humming his tunes. But you are cheating yourself if you haven’t seen him in concert. Experiencing Bunny Brunel LIVE is transformative. And nothing compares to the auditory, sensory fulfillment, when you're drinking in a performance by this masterful bass legend!
