Album Notes & Community Reviews

Fusing elegant, highly sophisticated bebop piano with wildly explosive Latin percussion, this remarkably joyful studio summit creates a thrilling, highly syncopated acoustic texture. The legendary Cuban conguero perfectly complements the trio's refined swing, injecting a relentless, danceable energy into the complex harmonic structures. The exceptionally warm, flawlessly executed collaboration serves as a magnificent early milestone of the Afro-Cuban jazz crossover movement.
