Larry
Harlow is a true living legend of Afro-Cuban music. Born in
Brooklyn, New York, his early influences were his father Buddy,
who was a professional bass player and his mother Rose, who sang
opera. A graduate of the prestigious N.Y. High School of Music
and Art, he excelled on oboe, flute, violin, bass and the
instrument that he is most noted for, the piano. Although jazz
and the piano styling of Art Tatum were his first love, his
growing exposure as a teenager to the music and culture of the
New York Latino community fascinated him.
