CD Reviews

Hot Latin Jazz for the Summer Season: "Isla" is It!
Kate Says | Montclair, NJ | 06/03/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I love this CD even more than the band's first two which were just great. Anyone who says that non-Latin musicians can't play Latin jazz authentically are wrong, wrong, wrong! Mark and the band turn on the heat to Latin tunes like "Seis Pa' Chuito", a lovely song by Jose Lugo, and play fantastic Afro-Cuban jazz arrangements to jazz standards such as Cedar Walton's "Black" and Kenny Garrett's "Ain't Nothing But the Blues". My personal favorites - aside from "Black" - are Dizzy Gillespie's "Con Alma", with an intro and interlude based on a traditional Vietnamese (!) song and the bolero "A Free Man" by Donald Brown. "Isla" is definitively a keeper for me."
