Early in 1997, Hernandez traveled to Orvieto, Italy, to perform at the Umbria
Jazz Festival and record with the band “Crisoul”. Led by trumpeter Roy
Hargrove, this all-star lineup combined the energies of Hargrove,
Hernandez, Gary Bartz, Frank Lacey, David Sanchez,
Changuito, Jon Benitez, Anga Diaz, Russel Malone and
Chocho Valdes. Their debut record entitled “Habana” earned “Crisoul” a 1997
Grammy Award for Best Record in the “Latin Jazz” category.
During the same period Hernandez recorded the Michel Camilo's release
“Thru My Eyes” with Jon Patitucci and Anthony Jackson. On this
record, “El Negro’s” true essence is captured on the track “A Night in Tunisia."
Also during this time, Hernandez appeared with McCoy Tyner and his band
in San Francisco and recorded and toured with Santana for their 1997
world tour.
In 1998, Hernandez set his sights on performing with Latin Crossing, a
stellar gathering of artists that featured: Steve Winwood, Arturo
Sandoval,and Tito Puente. Latin Crossing toured all of
the major jazz festivals throughout Europe that summer.
Hernandez then went on tour with the John Patitucci Band. In 1998 and
1999, Hernandez found himself recording with an eclectic group of artists
including: Santana, Gabriella Anders, John Patitucci,
Sergio George, Juan Carlos Formell, Joanne Brackeen,
Giovanni Hidalgo, and others.
