about

"Los Angeles, June 2021 - An abounding reunion amongst Latin-Jazz luminaries, long-time music collaborators & friends embodied a gathering in the studio with a mission to record tracks for the long-awaited new album from Colombian native, Juan Carlos Quintero! Freely, the music menu flourished via newly crafted Latin-Jazz interpretations of classic jazz titles from the international songbook (Manhã De Carnival, Gentle Rain, Giant Steps, Beautiful Love, Song For My Father, Days of Wine & Roses, Alone Together)! Notably, this route proved enviable as the quintet embarked on producing a fresh set of seamless arrangements while unveiling the spirit of genuine collaboration. Led by JCQ’s signature guitar voice, Table For Five arrives intertwined with elegance & charm (feat. JC's electric jazz guitar)! Highlighted by stellar performances from Latin-Jazz all-stars, Eddie Resto (bass), Joe Rotondi (piano), Joey DeLeon (Percussion) & Aaron Serfaty (drums), this party of five is ready to check-in - This time at the intersection of repertoire, heritage & kindred souls...Radio Promotion: New World n Jazz/Neal Sapper, Press Campaign: MouthPiece Music/Holly Cooper..."JCQ's brand of world beat, Latin flavored pop/jazz provides a highly rhythmic, passionate guitar voice that captures the energy and excitement of his live performances"

artists in the U.S.... Quintero never forgets the power of the simple beauty of his acoustic guitar..." - Hispanic Magazine

"Quintero's acoustic and classical guitars sparkle... By virtue of imagination as well as style, Quintero clearly outclasses many of his modern Latin guitar-strumming contemporaries... Quintero sets high standards with cross-cultural sound...One of the best" - Los Angeles Times

"Few Latino musicians so effectively bridge the gap between their ethnic roots, inspiration and easy going pop flavors - JAZZIZ Magazine"

Latin music was a very natural gravitation for JCQ when he first picked up the guitar at age eight: “No matter what style I ever played in, I always came back to my heritage.
