Search - Frankie V :: Smooth Ride feat. Arturo Sandoval

This exciting new album highlights Frankie V's original compositions, as well as a refreshing new arrangement of Stevie Wonder's "Another Star." The album runs the gamut: Smooth Jazz, Jazz Funk, and Latin Jazz; showing many sides of Frankie?s playing. It combines a smokin? rhythm section led by Sandoval on piano, with Ernesto Simpson on drums, Dennis Marks on bass, and Samuel Torres on percussion. Throughout this album, you will hear Frankie V?s warm, lush flugelhorn sound, contrasted by his screaming doubled trumpet tracks on "A.S" -- a tune that he wrote and dedicated to his hero Arturo Sandoval. Frankie V pairs up with saxophone great Ed Calle so beautifully on the track "New Life Latino," a gorgeous cha cha / bolero, it sounds like they have been playing together for years. The icing on the cake is the teaming of Frankie and Arturo on flugelhorns on Frankie's "Mi Amiga Mi Amore." It?s a guarantee you?ll be humming this one for days.
