The Afro-Caribbean Jazz Collective

Led by guitarist Jose Guzman, The Collective’s compositions reflect Guzman’s musical heritage with rhythms from Puerto Rico mixed with the sophistication of modern jazz. The ensemble’s third album, “Fiesta at Caroga,” has been making waves in the jazz world. It’s been featured on jazz radio stations across the country, received glowing reviews from music critics, and charted on JazzWeek’s Top 100 Jazz Albums of 2024. The Collective’s upcoming release, “Cortadito”, is a succinct yet powerful album with 7 original compositions that includes Chicago’s own Grammy nominated jazz trumpet player, Victor Garcia.
