Joe McCarthy The New York Afro Bop Alliance Big Band The Pan American Nutcracker Suite
What’s a Connecticut Yankee doing residing in Little Havana (Miami, Florida)? Most likely teaching, winning Grammy’s and leading an innovative ground-breaking ensemble called the New York Afro Bop Alliance Big Band.
The Pan American Nutcracker Suite is a winner on several fronts —newcomers to classical music will be introduced to the world-renowned tradition of The Nutcracker and its infectious melodies, fans of classical music are introduced to the Latin American rhythms that McCarthy and his bnad intersperse, and everyone will learn about the sheer power of a big band.
