Multi-instrumentalist Jerry Gonzalez (congas/flugelhorn/trumpet) continues leading THE FORT APACHE BAND into the 21st Century. Four time winners of Beyond Group of the Year in Downbeat Magazine's Readers & Critics Polls, JERRY GONZALEZ AND THE FORT APACHE BAND are cited as the most “influential modern Afro-Caribbean Jazz Group of the past 30 years." Blending complex Latin rhythms with impeccable jazz improvisations, the band has been hailed by The New York Times as, “The best Latin Jazz group working."

In 2001 Jerry Gonzalez And The Fort Apache Band were prominently featured in Spanish director Fernando Trueba's film on Latin Jazz Calle 54 (Miramax). This collaboration has resulted in the production of a new CD, Jerry Gonzalez Y Los Pyrates Del Flamenco, featuring Gonzalez and a Gypsy Flamenco group that includes the esteemed Flamenco singer Diego “El Cigala."

The success and historical relevance of The Fort Apache Band can in large part be attributed to its constant line-up, which has been in place since 1990. This is currently the longest standing band collaboration in Latin Jazz music. JERRY GONZALEZ AND THE FORT APACHE BAND continue beating the torch of Afro-Caribbean Jazz into 2004-05.
