Joe Canoura | flute & sax

Joe Canoura's great claim to fame is that he was featured on the Ray Barretto's Latin crossover hit, the boogaloo El Watusi, which went to Number 17 on the American pop charts in 1963. https://youtu.be/HBlQ48m8UuM

He played with Tito Puente during his last tour before his passing, at the House of Blues - New Orleans. Tito was overheard telling Joe during that show, "I see you still got your chops". As Fredy Omar (The New Orleans Latin King of Frenchmen Street) recounts: "we opened a show for Tito Puente at the House of Blues and when we got there, Tito's band was doing a soundcheck. The pianist, Sonny Bravo, he was going, 'Joe? Oh my God! Joe Canoura!' Tito Puente had a lot of veterans playing with him and all the guys knew Joe." Notable venues include: The Palladium in NYC, Jazzfest - New Orleans. Caribe Hilton - Old San Juan, Carnegie Hall, Club Virginia - Los Angeles. Joe also played with Puerto Rico famed Trumpeter Miguelito Miranda.

Born in Spain, raised in Newark, Joe has lived in the Bronx, Puerto Rico, New Orleans, San Francisco, and now Palm Desert. Joe has mastered the best of both worlds - he knows practically everything about Latin music and he has a deep knowledge of jazz.
