by Joel Roberts
The question mark at the end of the group's name above isn't a mistake. It's Paquito D'Rivera's way of signaling that listeners shouldn't expect to hear just a traditional jazz quintet on his consistently excellent and continually surprising Funk Tango. Instead, the Cuban-born multi-instrumentalist leads an ever-shifting international ensemble that adds and subtracts members based on ...

by Laurel Gross
It's a scene of riches: a marigold-colored moon so bright and full it looks like a gold coin tossed into the end-of-summer sky, while skyscraper windows towering over New York City's Central Park glitter like diamonds.

Frank Vignola: Vignola Plays Gershwin
by Andrew Velez
