Artist description Jimmy Bosch plays it, lives it, and tells it like it is! A fiery exponent of the progressive sound he calls "Salsa Dura" (Hard Salsa), Bosch masterfully portrays his life experiences and musical inspirations creating Salsa for the next century. As New York's most sought after trombonist, he reinvigorates the Latin music scene by projecting his essence vis-à-vis his emphatic solos and rhythmic melodies which emanate from his soul and through his trombone. Whether before a sold-out audience, or in the company of the fans at home, Bosch unabashedly raises the raw intensity of his all-star band, igniting the spirit to relish in the swinging and complex mosaic of contemporary Latin music at its best--Salsa Dura.

Artist History Bosch began playing trombone in 1970, and at age 13 this prodigious talent taught him-self to play "moñas" (musical riffs). Bosch frequented clubs in New York City with his trombone at hand, confident that he would one day land a gig with a major New York Salsa band. In 1978, while a student at Rutgers University, his moment came to a realization when he was hired by Andy Gonzalez to work with Conjunto Libre, heralding the birth of a prolific career and extensive discography, spanning two decades. Bosch has collaborated with the most stellar figures in Salsa including, Cachao, Celia Cruz, Eddie Palmieri, Ray Barreto, the Machito Orchestra, Rubén Blades, Fania All-Stars, Willie Colón, Oscar D'Leon, and Marc Anthony.
