You may hear flamenco, bossa nova, latin jazz, salsa, dawg music, and more in this rendition! Press: “It sounds very good, fresh style and great playing of Jason and his band!!! Enrique Coria Professional Guitarist Former Guitarist & Member; David Grisman Quintet https://acousticdisc.com/enrique-coria/ "An exquisite blend of Bolero, salsa, and flamenco complemented by outstanding musical performances on guitar, vocals, and trumpet. Jason and The New Acoustic Collective have really captured multiple styles of Latin music all rolled into one song!” Jeff Lewis Professional Jazz Trumpet Player Adjunct Faculty, Jazz Trumpet and Director of Latin Jazz Ensemble, San Jose State University “Last week I listened to The New Acoustic Collective’s previous single like ten times in a row, so I was really excited to get my hands on their recording of Black Orpheus! Right out of the intro I was captivated. As I expected, there is masterful playing and vocals and a really great arrangement. Get a copy right away and put on some good headphones. You will love it!” Nate Lee Professional Mandolinist Recording Artist Educator For more music by The New Acoustic Collective, please visit https://newacousticcollective.bandcamp.com/music
