Fresh and Breezy Latin Jazz

Papetti | Mexico City | 10/24/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Few covers (CDs or books)can capture the exact essence of its contents as good as this cover; Dave achieved to express on the cover exactly what his music does on the disc; a fresh and breezy tropical cove full of great music. This is perhaps the forerunner/precursor of what became The Caribbean Jazz Project years later. Actually the only musician missing in this album from the original Caribbean Jazz Project is Paquito D'Rivera; but everybody else is here like:



- Dave Samueles on Vibraphone & Marimba, Percussions & Synthesizers

- Andy Narell on Steel Drums

- Dave Valentin on Flutes

and their guests here are fantastic; just check them out:

- Jorge Strunz (from Strunz and Farah)on Guitar

- Lincoln Goines (Dave Valentin band member) on Bass

- Richie Morales (ex-Rippington) on Drums

- Sammy Figueroa on Percussion

- Danilo Perez on Piano

etc.

etc.



Super recommendable if you live and breathe Latin Jazz.....................
