Alexis Cuadrado: Metro

by David Adler
December 1, 2001

Bassist Alexis Cuadrado (he’s a guy) leads a quintet on this fine all-original session. Kicking off with “Nit," based on “Night In Tunisia" changes, pianist Pete Rende and guitarist Steve Cardenas trade buoyant 8-bar statements over a dancing 6/8 groove, ultimately yielding the floor to an eloquent solo by Cuadrado himself. Cardenas and alto saxophonist Kris ...
