Mike Tomaro ------, A native of Colombia, reedman, clinician, composer and arranger, JUSTO ALMARIO, has fused Latin, Afro­ Cuban, South American, Funk and jazz genres into his own humble offering. Mr. Almario studied at the prestigious Berklee School of Music before a stint with Mongo Santamaria as the band's musical director. Justo has also performed with Patrice Rushen's Grammy Awards Orchestra, Freddie Hubbard, Roy Ayers, George Duke, Tito Puente, Machito, Dave Grusin, Ndugu Chancler, Alex Acuna, Abraham Laboriel, TOLU, Donald Vega, Harold Land Jr., Al Mckibbon, Master P, Bebe Winans, Queen Latifah, Charles Mingus, Chaka Kahn, Linda Rondstadt, Herb Alpert, Bobby Shew, John Heard, Lorca Hart, Billy Higgins and Jose Rizo's Jazz on the Latin Side All-Stars. Always in demand, Justo's complete list of credits is simply too extensive to mention. John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderly, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Bach, Bartok, and Debussy are among Justo's primary influences. After evolving from child pro­ tege to virtuoso, Almario taught at the Henry Mancini Institute and has men­ tared inner-city youth during workshops at the World Stage. A multi-instrumentalist of the highest caliber, Mr. Almario has mastered the soprano and tenor saxophones, clarinet, and flute. Justo thoroughly engages his listeners with rhythmic call and response interludes. Although he is extremely appreciative, this modest wind wizard frequently deflects any accolades, opting instead to thank folks for merely showing up and sharing. This is paramount to a keenly sensitive artist who warmly connects with his audience on so many levels. In 1992, while joining the ranks of Cedar Walkton, Terrence Blanchard, and Joe Lovano, Almario was an integral part of the Newport Jazz Festival Tour, produced by George Wein. Two years later, four of the recordings on which Justo was featured earned Grammy nominations, while Andrae Crouch's "Mercy," and Cachao's "Master Sessions, Vol.1" were actual Grammywinners. Mr. Almario was featured on" Let's Get Loud," a Jennifer Lopez DVD. He also appeared on "Ahora Si," a CD by Israel "Cachao" Lopez that garnered two Gram­ mys. No stranger to Hollywood, Justo was heard on the soundtrack of the Oscar -winning film, Sideways. In addition, Mr. Almario will be featured on the upcoming Andy Garcia movie, The Lost City, and on the soon-to-be-released Romance and Cigarettes, produced by John Turturo and starring Susan Sarandon and James Gandolfini. Justo's ongoing involvement with Jose Rizo has proven to be very rewarding. This sizzling band recorded, "Jazz on the Latin Side All-Stars, Volumes 1 and 2" and "The Last Bullfighter." He has also played on, and produced, TOLU's Grammy-nominated CD, "El Bongo de Van Gogh." Justo's latest CD, "Love Thy Neighbor," features his quartet playing original compositions as well as rare standards. A man for all seasons, Justo was the featured soloist with the Los Angeles Master Chorale at the Walt Disney Hall Season Opener, later performing at a "Celebrar" Christmas concert at the same venue. Justo cut his teeth living inN ew York before traveling widely throughout Europe, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean. Throughout Japan, Almario was a big­ band guest soloist in such cities as Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka. Finally, Justo's stellar career was recently celebrated during a segment of World Stage Stories, a comprehensive oral history series that chronicles the evolution of jazz. What's next for this pied piper with boundless horizons? No one is really sure, but one thing is clear-Mr. Almario's music will continue to heal and in­ spire. A devoted family man, Justo's spiritual path nurtures both his creative journey and his warm compassion as a human being. Trumpeter PETER LOMAN was born on March 15, 1961, in Helsinki, Finland.
