Hi Again!!!
Jack Costanzo (born September 24, 1919, Chicago, Illinois) is an American percussionist.A composer, conductor and drummer, Costanzo is best known as a bongo player, and is nicknamed "Mr. Bongo". He visited Havana three times in the 1940s and learned to play Afro-Cuban rhythms on the bongos and congas.(wiki)
