"Hi, I'm Ned Zeppelin. I lead a fun new 21-person band called Neo Spanglish! We are muy loco about the world's happiest style of music: New York Palladium Ballroom-style salsa big band and it's more modern variants, too. I've been researching and hunting for lost and non-existent sheet music for the greatest Mambo/Merengue/Cha Cha/Comparsa recordings of salsa big band greats Tito Puente, Perez Prado, Machito's Mario Bauza, Arturo Sandoval, Paquito de Rivera, Michel Camilo, Chano Pozo/Dizzy Gillespie, Woody Herman and more.
Many of these songs were only written down for the recording session and then ended up in a file cabinet, or were lost, or discarded. If a song totally affects me with its emotional intensity, I HAVE TO FIND IT. Come discover this thrilling, largely lost world of Salsa Big Band with us.
Satisfaction guaranteed: If you don't absolutely love our music, scouts honor I'll bite a bug. "
