Rumba Club: Espiritista
by Joel Roberts
Rumba Club didn't just hop on the latest Latin music bandwagon. The nine-member ensemble has been playing spirited jazz and salsa around the Baltimore area for over a decade. And with any luck, Espiritista, their fine new release on the Palmetto label, will help win them more than a regional following. With a three-horn front line ...
Rumba Club: Espiritista
by Glenn Astarita
Produced by bassist, percussionist Andy Gonzalez of the renowned “Fort Apache Band”, “Rumba Club” fuses Latin and Afro-Caribbean rhythms with a straight up, front line horn section amid heterogeneous rhythmic structures on Espiritista !

The Larry Goldings Trio: Moonbird
by Jack Bowers
Larry Goldings’ organ trio gets down in a hurry on the funky “Crawdaddy,” which introduces the group’s latest recording, its first for Palmetto Records. Goldings, Bernstein and Stewart have been playing together for a decade (that’s close to a century in music–group years) and have arrived at a “Comfort Zone” that must be the envy of ...
The Matt Wilson Quartet: Smile
by Jack Bowers
Drummer Matt Wilson leads a piano–less quartet with two horns, but if you’re expecting the second coming of Mulligan / Baker, you can shelve that notion.

Matt Wilson: Smile
by Mark Corroto
This is a warning to Drummer Matt Wilson: Stop what you’re doing! Jazz is serious business. You don’t think that that Wynton Marsalis and Stanley Crouch spent all those years writing long serious diatribes on the cultural and social implications of jazz, using words like ‘fundamentalist,’ ‘nobility,’ and ‘canon,’ to allow you to actually have so ...
Larry Goldings Trio: Moonbird
by David Adler
One of the most consistently satisfying straight-ahead jazz outfits, the Larry Goldings Trio joins the Palmetto Records roster with the fine Moonbird. Goldings has made his mark on the Hammond organ as a sideman with the likes of John Scofield, Jim Hall, Chris Potter, and Maceo Parker. His long-standing trio, with Peter Bernstein on guitar and ...
Matt Wilson Quartet: Smile
by David Adler
Drummer Matt Wilson has been active with tenor great Dewey Redman for some time; Smile is the latest installment from his own inventive quartet. The very title, not to mention the close-up of Wilson’s grinning mug on the cover, suggests that this group likes to have fun. Andrew D’Angelo is on alto sax and bass clarinet, ...
Conosur: Zonda
by C. Michael Bailey
The DiMeola Effect. The spirit of Al DiMeola nuzzles every corner of this disc. This is no surprise with DiMeola protégés Hernan Romero and Tony Viscardo at the helm. Add to them DiMeola bassist Mario Rodriguez and this you have to have some DiMeola influence. This music is decidely Latin, well produced, and easy on the ...
