"Grupo Sazon Jazz" is an Afro-Caribbean musical group born in the St. Louis area in 2024. The group consists of two vocalists, a keyboard player, a bass guitarist, a section of three percussionists (congas, timbales, and bongos), and a saxophone/flute player.
We like to call ourselves "Ambassadors of LA CLAVE in the Diaspora" since most of our members are natives from Puerto Rico, Cuba, and other Latino nations. “La Clave” is the most fundamental rhythmic pattern in the music we play.
Our music integrates Afro-Caribbean musical styles (ex. cha cha, montuno, guaguanco, boleros, bachatas, and others) and “New York salsa” with elements of mainstream jazz, making our SOUND both enjoyable for jazz listeners and salsa dancers.
