Album Notes & Community Reviews

Integrating overt political consciousness into the fiercely polyrhythmic architecture of Afro-Cuban jazz, the virtuosic pianist issues a monumental statement of urban Latin identity. The searing brass arrangements and relentless percussion drives the extended compositions well past standard dance formats into deeply challenging, socially aware territory.
