LPE was to be a one time appearance at a jazz festival in Central Pennsylvania. Tom (Reese) asked us to put together a group to fill out the bill in Wrightsville, a festival which gains more notoriety each year it continues. With a quick collaboration between Bobby and Johnny, the material was selected and the lineup for the group put in place. The original group existed of Johnny, Bobby, Bob Fry on bass, and Lancaster’s first call drummer Aaron Walker. After over a year hiatus the band came back together in March of 2008 to begin work on the premiere solo album you hold in your hands. the band began to thrive during the recording sessions and this new sound was born. The band worked close but, allowed a lot freedom for expression. Johnny Bravo & The Latin Percussion Ensemble should be a favorite for music lovers, listeners, and dancers everywhere.
