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.
