Notes: Steve Winwood, Tito Puente, and Arturo Sandoval have teamed up for the
Latin Crossings tour, a European trek slated to kick off July 3 at its only
non-European date: the Montreal Jazz Festival. The first European show will
be July 5 in Udine, Italy.

The concept behind the two-month European tour is to present each of the trip
members' musical leanings separately and in an ensemble. Winwood is hardly a
stranger to Hispanic Afro-Caribbean grooves. In the 1970s, he recorded with
the Fania All-Stars, and his latest disc contains a salsa track.

The Latin Crossings backing band has a cast of standout players: Ed Calle,
Tommy Anthony, Walfredo Reyes Jr, Otmaro Ruiz, Manuel Equi Castrillo, and
Oskar Cartava.
