Claudio has been recognized and awarded by the Youngarts Foundation, Downbeat Jazz Magazine and Herbie Hancock Institute National Peer-to-Peer Jazz.
Jason Arkins is an in-demand saxophonist and woodwind doubler based in South Florida, known for his versatility across jazz, pop, and a wide range of musical styles. He has toured internationally with Latin pop duo Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso, performing in 18 countries and joining them as the opening act for Kendrick Lamar’s Latin American tour. He also performed at the 2025 Latin Grammys with the Argentine Duo.
