The New Jump Blues Band, led by Antonio “Huggy Bear” Fargas, is known for their rousing performances, blending up tempo elements of blues, jazz and calypso with dazzling choreography in a lively revue-style show. The ‘jump blues’ is an offshoot of the big-band swing era, featuring smaller ensembles with bright horns and irresistible rhythms.
