'REVIEW: Michael Spiro/Wayne Wallace La Orquestra Sinfonietta, 'Canto America,' Patois Records

When Ella Fitzgerald and McCoy Tyner wanted to spice up their mix with salsa percussion, they called Michael Spiro. When Count Basie and Sonny Rollins wanted some Afro-Cuban know-how, they called trombonist Wayne Wallace. Together, the two have collaborated for almost three decades. Their latest adventure, 'Canto America' (Patois Records) uses La Orquestra Sinfonietta to deconstruct, then reconstruct, Afro-Caribbean music.
