Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stepping away from his famous Afro-Cuban jazz ensembles, the vibraphonist delivers a highly atmospheric, impressionistic tribute to his home city. The relaxed, airy quartets highlight his delicate mallet work and a profound allegiance to the understated West Coast cool aesthetic.
