The idea for creating the group, Latin Jazz, began in Miami, FL while Jake Tijerina attended “Calle Ocho.” Calle Ocho (translated Eight St.) is the annual Latin festival in “Little Habana” Miami. At this festival, you can immerse yourself in the Latin culture, and especially enjoy all of the energetic Latin music. Thus, the idea for bringing Latin music to Northeast Ohio was conceived as Jake wished to share the rich musical heritage of the Latin community with those in Northeast Ohio. Jake then assembled the finest NE Ohio musicians and began performing as Latin Jazz.
