Dafnis Prieto Sextet: Triangles and Circles

Read "Triangles and Circles" reviewed by Dave Wayne


The thing that sets Latin jazz apart from other forms of jazz is that it's fundamentally a music for dance. The artists who create this music are expected to move gracefully back and forth between the worlds of jazz and salsa, sometimes in a single tune. Though it's overtly intended to get our bodies moving, Latin ...

Charles Flores: Impressions Of Graffiti

Read "Impressions Of Graffiti" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

Roman Filiu: Musae

Read "Musae" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


Drummer Dafnis Prieto created the Dafnison Music label as a means to control his own work and get his forward-thinking recordings into the hands of the public on his own terms. That, however, doesn't mean he isn't willing to use this imprint as a means to promote the work of other deserving artists. Musae marks the ...

Dafnis Prieto Proverb Trio: Proverb Trio

Read "Proverb Trio" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


It has long been said that “there's nothing new under the sun," but this record counters that particular proverb's proclamation. Drummer/composer Dafnis Prieto has birthed an album unlike anything else in his own discography--or anywhere else, for that matter.
