The quintet is completed by three other virtuoso artists, also present in the groups led by Bob Sands: the young tenor saxophonist Daniel Juárez, one of the four or five most brilliant students to have emerged from Musikene in the last decade, transcriber of the maestro's solos and very familiar with his music; the excellent pianist Paul Gutierrez; and the prestigious guitarist Israel Sandoval.
