Ernesto Anthony Puente,

Jr., was born in New York City in 1923 to parents newly arrived from Puerto Rico. Flora Purim and Airto Among his musical influences were South American, Cuban, and swing music, includ- ing the great dance bands, and especially two musicians, Gene Krupa and Stan Kenton. By the age of twelve, Tito Puente was performing with local Latin and society bands. He continued performing in New York until he was drafted into the U.S. Navy at age nineteen. After a three-year stint, he attended the Juilliard School on the G.I. Bill. He formed his own nine-piece group, The Piccadilly Boys, which performed regu- larly at the Palladium, New York's "mecca Over the past twenty-five years, Brazilian native Airto has been one of the most influ- ential percussionists in the world ofjazz.

He is noted particularly for his work with Miles Davis during the era and for his leadership in the fusion genre with such recordings as Weather Report and Return to Forever. His impact has been so powerful that in 1972 Downbeat Magazine added a percussion category to its readers' and critics' polls; Airto has been voted best in that category ever since. His formidable expertise in Brazilian cultures and percus- sion instruments makes Airto's perform- ances both educational and electrifying.

Singer Flora Purim 's contributions to the jazz world have been equally important as Airto's and their partnership and mar- riage have created a bond that is recogniz- of Latin music." After playing at Birdland The New Black Eagle Jazz Band ("the jazz mecca"), and Roseland, Mr. Puente incorporated jazz harmonies into his music, producing Latin jazz, and also began recording. Since that time he has recorded steadily (more than 100 record- ings), signing with Concord Picante, a divi- sion of Concord Jazz, in the early 1980s. Among his eleven albums on Concord Picante are Master Timbalero, Royal T, Mambo of the Times, and the Grammy-winning Goza Mi Timbal. He previously won Grammys for Mambo Diablo, On Broadway, and Homenaje a Beny More.
