Irving Flores

From his early beginnings as a child prodigy leading Orchestra Tamalipas to victory at the tender age of ten, to becoming a nationally treasured artist in Mexico, Irving’s journey has been nothing short of legendary. Now based in San Diego, California, Irving continues to push musical boundaries and innovate within the jazz genre, contributing richly to its evolution and reaching new audiences through his performances and recordings.

Irving’s career is marked by notable collaborations and performances with jazz icons such as Poncho Sanchez, Airto Moreira, and the Spanish Harlem Orchestra. His skills as an arranger and producer shine through in projects like the acclaimed “Tribute to Frank Sinatra” with the San Diego Symphony and his stirring arrangements for international stars like Luis Miguel.

Irving’s recent work includes the much-anticipated album “Armando Mi Conga,” recorded live in New York City. This vibrant album features a lineup of legendary musicians, including Giovanni Hidalgo on congas, Brian Lynch on trumpet, Horacio “El Negro” Hernandez on drums, John Benitez on upright and electric bass, and Norbert Stachel on tenor sax, baritone sax, clarinet, and flute, showcasing Irving’s ability to bring together top talents to create truly spectacular music.
