Caribbean Jazz Project: Here and Now - Live in Concert
by Woodrow Wilkins
It seems that every year I get an album that is so impressive, I claim it is the likely to be the best new jazz release of the year. Usually that doesn't happen until August or September. It's only February, and I've already heard two. They may not hold up over the next ten months, but ...

Caribbean Jazz Project: New Horizons
by Dave Hughes
These are new horizons, indeed, as this is a whole new band, save for Dave Samuels. Former frontliners Paquito D'Rivera and Andy Narell, as well as their rhythmmates, have departed for other projects, and Samuels has replenished the line-up with equally impressive talent in flautist Dave Valentin and guitarist Steve Khan. The change ...

Reedman Paquito D’Rivera and steel drummer Andy Narell recently quit the Caribbean Jazz Project, but founder Dave Samuels (vibes) didn't abandon his concept.
