Accessed 23 October 2026.</ref>

== Music and style ==
The piano works both as part of the rhythm section and as a source of arranged movement across the ensemble. His career connects dance-centered salsa with Latin-jazz collaboration: composed horn writing, rhythmic accompaniment and room for individual players belong to the same practice. [[Spanish Harlem Orchestra]]'s recordings show his role in sustaining classic New York orchestral resources through contemporary sessions and performance.<ref name="oscar-sho" />

== Works and performances ==
''Across 110th Street'', ''Viva la Tradición'' and ''Anniversary'' document the orchestra's salsa work. ''The Latin Jazz Project'' highlights collaborations with jazz performers. His wider credits include arranging and musical direction for Paul Simon's stage production ''The Capeman'', illustrating work beyond one band or genre.<ref name="oscar-sho" /><ref name="oscar-spanish" />
