About The Band

Sofrito Latin Jazz Quintet was formed in 2009 by flutist Tim Forster and Latin percussionist Tony Padilla. Originally a quartet, the group added a drummer in 2014 to expand its repertoire. This versatile, high energy group performs a unique blend of music including Latin jazz fusion, Afro Cuban, and Brazilian. Sofrito has performed at clubs, festivals, and private events throughout Western NY. Their current performances have been largely dedicated to the unique and extraordinary music of late great Latin flutist, Dave Valentin.
