Immediately the fusion of Latin beats and jazz is pretty infectious I must say, the percussion in particular. The bass and drums leading in “Wise Bata Blues” and then the squealing horns are pretty cool. This music is certainly keeping my attention anyway. The vibes or marimba (which is it?) on “La Cancha” are golden, and when they're joined by some violins it's just perfection. You would think that wild horns like those on “Augustine Parish” would drive me mad, as it's the kind of thing I hate, but no: something about the Latin beat sort of softens them or makes them more palatable, and I'm enjoying everything here so far. The piano on “Life” is beautiful, though the vocal kind of spoils it for me.

The chant that attends “The Uprising” is really, for me, more a sense of world music fused with jazz, and it's very uplifting and joyous. The Latin percussion melds really well with the piano and horns, the whole thing just fits together so well. There we go: another jazz album I really loved. What's happening to me?

Check out more from this artist? Well yeah but he has like over forty albums so, you know, not right away...
Check out more from this genre or subgenre? Latin jazz may be my way in
