Henry Pucho Brown has been on the jazz scene since his early teens. By the age of 17 he was playing professionally with the Joe Panama Sextet. Born in Harlem, he has traveled the world with various jazz bands but has lived in Middletown at least 40 years. In 2003, Brown was enshrined in the International Latin Music Hall of Fame, becoming just the second African-American so honored after Dizzy Gillespie. He brings his Latin Soul Brothers from NYC to play at SUNY Orange’s OCTC Great Room in Kaplan Hall, Newburgh on Wednesday, October 8. The 6:30 to 8:30 pm  event is Fiesta Mundial, a joyous gathering celebrating family and friends which is sponsored in part by the English as a Second Language program.  ESL students prepare and bring ethnic specialty food to share.
