Meet a member: Jose Dos Santos, author, radio/tv program host/producer of the long-running
program La esquina del jazz and veteran on-the-scene/in-the-know Havana-based periodista. Last month he sent us a trove of articles he’d published in Cuba in 2021. His portfolio of dispatches details recent activities of
- José Portillo,
- the big band of Pequeño Quin,
- Bobby Carcasses,
- Javier Malosetti,
- Roberto Fonseca,
- Carlos Sarduy,
- Cubadisco 2020-2021 and
- Miguel Díaz-Canell Bermúdez — current President of the Republic following Fidel and Raul Castro, addressing principals of the XVII Jazz Plaza Festival.

As JJA Editor, I’ve made a superficial search for publications or platforms, potentially interested in such reports, in Spanish or English. As such outlets for information and opinion about this ever-bubbling scene are scarce, the JJA proudly offers this collection José Dos Santos’ writings. Reach him on Facebook.
