Performer description
Andy González was a jazz double bassist of Puerto Rican descent recognized as was one of the innovators of Latin Jazz. González was a versatile player, as well as an arranger, composer, music historian and producer of other musicians' records. He embraced African, Cuban and Puerto Rican styles, various strains of jazz and other influences, often merging them into something fresh. Gary W. Kennedy and Barry Kernfeld wrote in Grove Music Online, "González played a solid-bodied, upright electric double bass and is considered to be one of the pre-eminent bass players of his generation in Afro-Cuban music within the USA. As a freelance he made several hundred recordings of Latin music."
