Latin Jazz, the New York sound of which we are talking about was born in the big apple. Deep in the trenches of The Lower East Side, 1969, you could hear the sounds buzzing from the streets, cafes, clubs and late night parties, real jazz with the Latin sound coming from Cuba, Santo Domingo and Puerto Rico. New York City born musicians like Tito Puente and Hilton Ruiz paved the way for the beautiful sounds of what we call Latin Jazz. "Steppin' with T.P." is a film in memory of Hilton Ruiz telling the story of the world's greatest Latin Jazz and Bebop pianist. Coming 2010.
