Bill O'Connell: Jazz Latin
La maggior parte dei brani evidenzia un brioso modern mainstream intriso di sonorità elettriche e tempi danzanti o serrati. Fanno eccezione il cantabile Goodbye My Friend con Brecker al flicorno (dedicato a un altro partner scomparso di recente, il batterista Kim Plainfield) ed ancora Mom's Song e Zingaro, il flessuoso tema di Jobim. Il momento più incline alle forme tipiche del latin jazz è Puttin' on the Ritz, esaltato da un vivace assolo di Herwig.
Non c'è molto da aggiungere. Un album fresco, ritmicamente vivace e con ottimi assoli.
