Trumpeter Jonathan Powell (

On Thursday, July 31, the Tusten Theatre will be alive with the sound of Mambo Jazz Party, trumpeter Jonathan Powell’s high-octane ensemble.
The group - which includes local trombone player, Ryan Keberle (who last seen at Delaware Valley Arts Alliance (DVAA) with his trio Reverso in April 2025) - exquisitely balances compositions by Herbie Hancock, Joe Henderson, Lee Morgan and Eddie Palmieri, against Latin Jazz inspired originals. They incorporate the ancestral legacies of mambo, rumba, and the cha cha, and the full throttle nature of descarga and comparsa, with the kind of charismatic musicality that can revitalize legendary Jazz standards.
MAMBO JAZZ PARTY is Jonathan Powell, trumpet; Jeremy Powell, sax; Ryan Keberle, trombone; Manuel Valera, keyboards; Alex “Apolo” Ayala, bass; Camillo Molina, drums; and Marcos Torres, congas
Technically elite, fluent in several kinds of music, and having earned the reputation as a consummate musician and scorching soloist, Powell’s career has encompassed rock, funk, pop, salsa, Jazz and Latin Jazz. As a sought-after sideman in New York City, Powell has performed with Eddie Palmieri, Arturo O’ Farrill, Darcy James Argue, Maria Schneider’s Orchestra, Miguel Zenon, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Oscar Hernández, Gregorio Uribe, and Pedro Giraudo.
