At the elementary school of his hometown, at the age of eleven Jimmy Bosch was offered a trombone which would give the starting point in his career. According to him, that metallic, valveless, long instrument (which was taller than him) was not necessarily what a child dreamed of; Perhaps, at that time, children dreamed of traveling to the moon, or with an electric guitar that would make them look like The Beatles or, failing that, the Rolling Stones. It didn’t take long for that 11-year-old boy to transform this instrument into an expression of his already visible creativity.
At the age of 13, the talented Jimmy was rehearsing with local bands and making his first foray onto the public stage a year or two later. His determination, the Latin blood that ran through his veins and the taste for the genre that had captivated him on so many occasions, led him to play with the most recognized band in the city: Manny Oquendo & Conjunto Libre. His dexterity and ingenuity in playing “moñas” (a section of trombone solos that enrich the melody) helped him to work with them since 1978, which is why it was alongside the Mythical Free Ensemble that Jimmy experienced the freedom to express himself musically with the trombone
On March 11, 1996, Jimmy Bosch debuted with his band at the internationally known S.O.B.’s nightclub. The result was immediate: Publications in the most prestigious newspapers in the Big Apple such as the “New York Times”, praising his excellence and a house full of loyal fans began to crown the dream of this tropical music worker. In this way he becomes a remarkably respected musician and an icon of Latin culture in New York.
His compositions reflect the creativity and depth of who Jimmy Bosch is. He takes his audience on a journey from Bronx-style “funk” to “hot” guajiras, melodious cha-cha-chás, and clearly poetic lyrics awash with feeling. Thus, Jimmy pays tribute to the other teachers who share their presentations generating remembrance and posterity in each one of them.
In 1998, under the Ryko Latino label, his first solo album, “Soneando trombone”, was released. Jimmy included a “Big Band” with renowned Latin virtuoso artists, such as trumpeter Alfredo “Chocolate” Armenteros, bassist Andy González, and singers like Jimmy Sabater and Pete “El Conde” Rodríguez. They played a mix of Latin styles, including “hard sauce,” of which Bosch is one of its greatest exponents. Bosch not only played a virtuoso trombone, but was also the musical director on that recording.
With his recording debut as a solo artist, Bosch scored a definite success on the international scene. In Europe critics welcomed his musical creations. And in the United States, newspapers such as the Los Angeles Times and The New York Times were full of praise for their brilliant performances.
At the beginning of 1999, the popular musician returns to the charts with a new production: “Salsa dura“. In this production, including musicians like Steve Turre and Chucho Valdés, it was as diverse, strong, and tough as his first production. The recording also included songs like I’m Still Changing. For the release of “Salsa dura” the Creole trombonist traveled to Europe and performed on countless stages of the Old Continent.
Persevering in his creativity, in 2004 Bosch received new applause in Puerto Rico, presenting his musical proposal at jazz festivals. His bows have accompanied such important figures in the salsa industry around the planet as the aforementioned Free Ensemble of Manny Oquendo and Andy González, Eddie Palmieri, Ray Barretto, Rubén Blades, India, the Lebron Brothers, La Combinación Perfecta, Cachao, Spanish Harlem Orchestra and Celia Cruz among others. He was the musical director of the outstanding Puerto Rican performer Marc Anthony.
The late creator of the Mambo, Israel “Cachao” López, composed for him the song “Lluvia, viento y caña”. The legendary trombone solo can be heard on the Grammy-winning recording, “Master Sessions Vol. 1” produced by Emilio Estefan and Andy García.
This talented musician stamps his signature with his particular way of playing the trombone, becoming his personal stamp in the music industry. Today, Jimmy Bosch is famous for his explosive solos, full of melody, vibration and funk.
Known by many as “El Trombón Criollo” for the strength of his improvisations, Jimmy radiates his energy to any musical challenge. Jimmy brings us El airplane de la salsa, his latest production, surrounded by high-voltage musicians and soneros.
Jesús Giselo Blanco was his first name, born in Mirandino, but settled in Caracas when he was still a child.
To talk about his musical beginnings is to evoke part of the history of the Son in our country, since “El Pure” before arriving to the San Agustin Parish had already participated with old groups such as Conjunto Rex and the well remembered Sonora Caracas.
El Pure Blanco was recognized in San Agustin Marin as a true builder of musicians since, with his work as a musical artisan, besides having created the first music school in Marin, many young people were nurtured and formed with his teachings.
Jesús “el Pure” Blanco was a key character in the formation and integration of several groups in Barrio Marín, among them we remember the aguinaldo group Los Juveniles, Los Gaitetricos, Los Super Cremas, La Nueva Generación and of course his biggest dream, the “Son Marín”.
The group Son Marín had several stages, starting in 1981 when in Barrio Marín an improvised musical group was organized to receive at the International Airport of Maiquetía the Grupo Madera that was arriving from an important presentation in an International Festival in the city of Avignon, France.
As fate would have it, that group, which was only a provisional “vente tú” organized by Pure, later became another of the emblematic groups of San Agustín, SON MARÍN.
In particular we remember pleasantly the participation of Son Marin as a representation of the San Agustin del Sur Parish, in the Afro-Caribbean Music Festival “La 5ta Esencia de la Salsa” held on June 17, 1983 at the Nuevo Circo de Caracas, by then the group had not yet recorded their first album, but we had already had the opportunity to listen to a demo with a couple of numbers that came to promote the announcer Hector Castillo in his radio program on the now defunct Radio Aeropuerto.
Over time the group grew and new instruments were added; and of course the inclusion of other musicians, such is the case of Jesus Guzman the popular “Paicosa” who enters as guitarist to later become the bassist and musical director of the group, it was the idea of “Paicosa” with the support of “Pabloco“, to expand the group’s equipment incorporating Hugo Olivero’s sax, Josue Silva’s trumpet, Randal Monasterio’s piano, while the percussion was reinforced with Juber Ramirez.
Unfortunately, a month after the recording began and without being finalized, Jesús “el Pure” Blanco died, however his voice and feeling were reflected in this album that was finally released in 1987, quickly gaining strength and penetrating the taste of the music lover public after the composition of Pablo Martínez, AQUÍ EMPEZO LA COSA, a tribute to this neighborhood that has given so many important musicians, a cradle of soneros as Gonzalo Martínez says in the song.
The voice of Pure Blanco was recorded in the song LA CAÑA; all the numbers were original pieces except for the song “Sin Compromiso” by the Brazilian Chico Buarque, but with an excellent adaptation of the lyrics by Pablo Martínez and Joseito Romero.
To end this biographical sketch, I leave here part of the thanks contained in the back cover of the album from Son Marín.

Famous sonero voice leader of the group Sierra Maestra, he began his career at the beginning of the eighties of the last century with the group Sierra Maestra, integrated by former students of the Polytechnic University José Antonio Echeverría, of Havana, with which he won a televised contest of new musicians.
He died at the age of 55 on November 6, 2005 in Copenhagen, Denmark, of a heart attack, after giving a concert with his group at the end of a tour of Europe.
He was born on April 17, 1950 in a modest country house in the vicinity of the Antonio Maceo Sugar Mill, in Cacocun, in the eastern province of Holguin.
Relatives and neighbors say that since he was a child he loved art, music, pirouettes and attracting attention.
October 20, 1976 in Havana, together with his classmates at the José Antonio Echevarría University Center, he founded the musical group Sierra Maestra, called at that time Grupo de Sones de la Facultad de Ingeniería Eléctrica.
Those young dreamers performed in the popular contest “Todo el Mundo Canta”, where they took off on a spiral of success in Cuba and the world.
A faithful cultivator of Son, Rodríguez participated in the Afro Cuban All Stars project, nominated for a Grammy in 1998 and parallel to the Buena Vista Social Club.
His excellent voice, comparable according to critics to that of the great cultivators of the genre, was one of the emblematic of the current Cuban dance music scene.
She began recording in 1981 her first album, “Sierra Maestra Llegó con El Guanajo Relleno”, was a silver disc and received excellent reviews. He participated in the Afro Cuban All Stars project, and parallel to the Buena Vista Social Club.
According to the Cuban composer, José Antonio Rodríguez not only possessed a very special voice, “he also had the courage and human qualities to remain faithful to that style, the son style, which is the mother of Cuban music”.
The repertoire of Rodriguez, known as Maceo among his friends and admirers, included, in addition to the great classics of traditional son, pieces that became very popular in his voice, such as Dame un traguito ahora or Esa mujer lo que quiere es que la miren.
Maceo, although small in stature, was an immense man, someone who could not conceive where to keep the torrent of voice he displayed without ostentation, so much musicality, intonation and love for Cuban music.
José Antonio was not only a great musician, he was a great person, very loved by his closest friends and in general by the people whose affection and admiration he won since the participation of Sierra Maestra in the Adolfo Guzmán contest and that thanks to his special way of interpreting the Cuban son, great musicians such as Ignacio Piñeiro’s Septeto were born again in the popular taste.
The singer died on November 6, 2005, just a few hours after finishing the European tour of Sierra Maestra with a concert at the Amager concert hall in Copenhagen.
With this presentation, the popular band put an end to the performance of all the Cuban artists who participated in the First International Latin Music Festival of that capital. The sonero’s remains were repatriated to Cuba, where he was buried.
