Happy Birthday, Jerry! Today, we’re not only celebrating another spin around the sun but also honoring a true trumpet maestro. You've blown away the competition—quite literally—with your groundbreaking music alongside Jerry Gonzalez and the Fort Apache Band. Who else could make Latin jazz swing so fiercely that critics ran out of superlatives?From your vibrant performances to those timeless albums loved around every corner of jazz history, you've set standards higher than some musicians can even reach notes! Wishing you continued success as brilliant as your solos; may this birthday groove be just like one of your classic tracks—rhythmic, ageless and impossible to forget!
