Bill O'Connell's latest, CD 'Rhapsody in Blue', brings a powerhouse cast of great players together on outstanding compositions (most of them the artist's own) that ring with true Latin flavor, a deep respect for jazz tradition and virtuoso musicianship. O'Connell has performed with many great Jazz legends, including Jon Lucien, Mongo Santamaria, Chet Baker, Kenny Rankin, Sonny Rollins, Fort Apache Band, Gato Barbieri, Astrud Gilberto, Conrad Herwig and Charles Fambrough to name a few. 'Rhapsody in Blue', with it's top shelf compositions and great musicianship, puts O'Connell among today's greats in Latin jazz.
