Synopsis

Album Description

*Mark Weinstein is quickly establishing himself as one of the premier jazz flute players on the scene. *Voted Best Latin Jazz Flautist by Jazz Corner in 2007. *An all-star rhythm section includes Dave Strycker (Rising Star, 2006 Down Beat Critics Poll), Victor Lewis, and Ed Howard (Roy Haynes' bass player for over a decade). "Impressive to say the least...Weinstein is the real deal and has once again called on some of the finest musicians to make a truly fine collection of Latin jazz winners. Highly recommended."--JazzReview

CD Reviews

Great jazz! A winner!

Duncan Clark | Pittsburgh, PA USA | 10/16/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Mark Weinstein is an exceptional jazz flutist, and this release features the supurb guitarist Dave Stryker. Ed Howard proves to be an ideal bassist for this group, and Victor Lewis is an established drummer adding great swing to the proceedings. The first tune, Loverin', is perhaps the most challenging for listener as well as performers. Give it a chance. From there, we get a varied program with some relaxed tunes (Miyako), blues, hints of world music (Shanti) and barn burners (Airegin). A highlight is Straight, No Chaser on bass flute. This one needs to be savored with repeated listenings. Highly Recommended!"
