DAFNIS PRIETO'S LATEST CD ABOUT THE MONKS ZOHO MUSIC 200502 www.zohomusic.com Dafnis Prieto drums, percussion, Yosvany Terry sax, Luis Perdomo piano, Fender Rhodes piano, Hans Glawischning bass, Ilmar Gavilan violin
Since he arrived in New York in 1999, the Cuban drummer Dafnis Prieto has been translating centuries of hand-drum tradition into jazz percussion for the trap set. His playing often involves three fast rhythms at once, and his precision is mesmerizing. At first he was an overbooked sideman with bandleaders as far apart as the avant-gardist Henry Threadgill and the salsa patriarch Eddie Palmieri. But he has developed his own compositional ambitions, and at last here's the result. On “About the Monks" (Zoho), his own first record, he plays with his most frequent collaborators - the trumpeter Brian Lynch, the saxophonist Yosvany Terry, the pianist Luis Perdomo and the bassist Hans Glawischnig. It's some of the best of New York's new Latin-jazz movement, distinguished by complex, jaggedly modern writing, but also by a deep cultural literacy of Cuban folklore. - BEN RATLIFF NEW YORK TIMES
