Omar Sosa: Ballads

by Norman Weinstein
September 21, 2005

Perhaps this is the finest CD saddled with a concept I dislike that I've heard in years. Strange category?

It is one matter to provide a “John Coltrane for Lovers compilation--in fact there are two ...

November 24, 2004

And yes, it is Latin jazz, Jim, but not as we generally know it. Less a conscious, structured world ...

Omar Sosa: Aleatoric EFX: Live Solo Concert - Radio Bremen

by C. Michael Bailey
August 7, 2004

It may be a bit disingenuous to say that Aleatoric EFX may become the next Köln Concert. Keith Jarrett's 1975 masterpiece could legitimately claim to have given birth to the New Age music genre.
