Billboard Magazine called the album Urban Ensemble – The Music of Roland Vazquez (1979) “funky-salsa-bebop … a decade ahead of its time.” From 1978 to 1981, he was a core member of Clare Fischer’s group Salsa Picante, appearing on the Grammy-winning album Salsa Picante 2+2.

His compositions have been performed and recorded by ensembles and jazz orchestras around the world. Roland currently teaches at Bard.
