The Afro-Caribbean Experimental Trio [ACE] is a concept created by saxophonist/arranger/ composer Jorge Sylvester combining three textures within the Afro-Caribbean idiom. The compositions and arrangements are written specifically for saxophone, electric bass and drums. The other members of the trio are drummer/percussionist Bobby Sanabria and bassist Donald Nicks. ACE utilizes the rich spectrum of rhythms from the Caribbean and other Latin American countries as a vehicle to create new and undiscovered rhythmic-melodic lines. ACE's unique compositional approach is on the forefront of today's musical scene reaching into the future exploring new sounds and concepts within the Afro-Caribbean realm.

"Jorge Sylvester's distinctive alto saxophone sound is imbued with the volatility of Caribbean basin's complex mosaic,
transformed and focused by the probing musical linguistics pioneered by the great saxophonists of modern jazz. Jorge's composer's imagination is the matchless structural coherence of his improvisational work".
