Marcos Varela Bridges the Generations on new Origin Records Release 'San Ygnacio' [REVIEW]
Brazilian Vocalist Carol Saboya Unleashes her Inner "Carolina" on New AAM Release [REVIEW]
When Brazilian vocalist Carol Saboya turned stateside heads with her lovely 2012 'Belezas,' no one thought it would be four years until her next CD. 'Carolina' (AAM Music) has been nurtured by her mentor Antonio Adolfo who plays piano, produces and arranges. The result is a stunningly gorgeous bossa-nova supreme where samba meets up with its progenitors in new and surprising ways plus meets some strangers along the way (Lennon/McCartney and Sting) to provide some syncopated surprise. Jim Self and the Tricky Lix Latin Jazz Band Say 'Yo!' on New Bassett Hound Release [REVIEW]
I do love a tuba. I also love hot spicy Latin music of any variety. But, heretofore, my tuba-lust, and my yearning for Latin, have been diametrically opposed vernaculars. Until now. Enter 'Yo!' (Bassett Hound Music) by Jim Self and the Tricky Lix Latin Jazz Band.
