Gustavo Ramirez, David Belove, and Danílo Paíz.


Gustavo Ramirez, David Belove, and Danílo Paíz are important collaborators

with the Art Jackson & AREYTO unit.

Gustavo's father, a prominent bassist performing with Beny Moré and Ernesto Duarte,

also the founder of Orquesta America in Gustavo's native Cuba, was key in persuading

young Gustavo to pursue an education and career in music.  Dad got Gustavo started on violin 

lessons, an instrument that didn't suit  the youngster.  Piano was a perfect fit. 

Influenced by Gonzalo Rubalcaba's styling , and familiarizing himself with the pianos

of Chucho Valdes, Hilario Duran, and Frank Emiliano Flynn, Gustavo eventually

developed what emerged as his own in-demand approach.  He has performed with

NG La Banda in Cuba, and has written arrangements for Earth, Wind  and Fire, as well

as composing for Peter Frampton's "Fingerprints".  Now as a resident of Los Angeles

and adding the influences of Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner, and Cecil Taylor,

he has established himself as a popular pianist known for colorful flavoring of jazz and

Latin Jazz offerings.


Bassist David Belove comes to us by way of Kansa City, Missouri. An important ingredient  

in the Bay Area's musical fabric, he attended San Francisco State University and the  

San Francisco Conservatory of Music, and his ensuing career includes performances 

with Tito Puente, Danílo Perez, Eddie Harris, and Larry Coryell. 

David can also boast a proficiency in photography.  His work in that area has graced any

number of album covers.


In his extensive musical career, percussionist Danílo Paíz can claim performances with such

internationally known musicians as Ray Barretto, Rubén Blades, Andy Narell, Dave Valentín,

Dizzy Gillespie, and Cal Tjader.  Demonstrating some of his best work as both a bongocero and

 as a vocalist, he shines on the Rubén Blades album, "Rubén Blades and Son Del Solar, Live".

In addition to having released two of his own albums,  Danílo has performed in recent years 

with Mary Wilson (of the Supremes), Mickey Hart (the Grateful Dead), and Grammy winning

 flautist Nestor Torres.  Danílo leads his own band, Danílo and Orquesta Universal, and is a

much sought after performer in the Bay Area's music scene.
