Miguel Zenon
Miguel Zenon was born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, studied classical saxophone at the famed Escuela Libre de Musica. Although Zenon was exposed to jazz while in high school, it wasn’t until he began his studies at the Berklee School of Music that his formal jazz training began. “Esta Plena,” his latest release, creates a bridge between elements of jazz and plena music from Puerto Rico.
