Synopsis

Album Description

The Caribbean Jazz Project-Afro Bop Alliance, set for release on Heads Up International, recasts nine CJP signature pieces - some by composer/vibraphonist Dave Samuels and others by Coltrane, Monk and other jazz luminaries - in a fresh new light via full-bodied arrangements by the Maryland-based Afro Bop Alliance, one of the most exciting new bands on the Latin jazz scene today.

CD Reviews

Afro Bop Alliance is big band latin swing

Richard D. Guba | Annapolis MD | 12/16/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I bought this album due to a newspaper review about its nomination for a Latin Grammy. It actually won the Latin Grammy and was well deserved. Afro Bop Alliance is a group of mostly Navy Band musicians from Annapolis who team up with Dave Samuels, formerly of Spyro Gyra and with Gerry Mulligan. Dave's group CJP has been around for a while but this is the first pairing of the two groups. The album swings hard and while it is a studio album it sounds like a good live recording with no unnatural overdubs. I recommend this to anyone who likes big band, Maynard Ferguson, Spyro Gyra, or Latin Music. There is good cover of Stolen Moments and other jazz classics. What is not to like?"

Winnin' Alliance!

"Just great. I listened "Naima" thanks to a on-line broadcast, first time. Immediatly I got no one doubt: I bought this CD. Soon. And I enjoid very much the hot, elegant beauty of the other tunes of this All-Stars album signed with the 'chicano' West-Coast spirit of 70' and 80'. Expecially 'bout "Soul Sauce" (immortal Cal Tjader in my Godness) and the unespectable, incredibly beautiful, "Stolen Moments". Oliver Nelson must be very proud of this version.

Trust im me: I'm a Latin Jazz lover since late 70'... Please get this album.
