Paquito D'Rivera at
by Javier AQ Ortiz
Sunday October 12 at 4:00 p.m., the Florida Marlins were the obvious focus of interest in South Florida. They were well on their way towards puncturing the Cubs’ failed dreams not far from Las Olas Blvd. and Huizenga Plaza, down the historic Riverwalk in downtown Fort Lauderdale. Unbeknownst to the undersized group of people in attendance ...
Paquito D'Rivera with the WDR Big Band: Big Band Time
by Javier AQ Ortiz
Quick and to the Point: WDR’s Latin Big Band offering with D’Rivera, Roditi and others. Big Band Time is yet another showcase for the first-rate WDR Big Band (WDR), featuring Paquito D’Rivera and Claudio Roditi. Conducted and rearranged by Bill Dobbins, the material is familiar, although its treatment isn’t. The reconceptualizations of compositions mostly ...
Paquito D'Rivera with the WDR Big Band: Big Band Time
by Jack Bowers
This is one of those good old-fashioned power-laden big-band albums that begs the listener to crank up the volume and let 'er rip. Great songs and wonderful charts, essentially in a buoyant Latin groove, played to a fare-thee-well by Germany's superlative WDR Big Band, with electifying solos by Paquito D'Rivera, Claudio Roditi, other guest artists and ...
Paquito D'Rivera with the WDR Big Band: Big Band Time

Big Band Time has all of these, together with ample proof that D'Rivera is a fine writer as well as player (six of the ten tunes are his). The German WDR Big ...

Juan-Carlos Formell: La Calles del Paraiso
by William Grim
If I were forced to categorize the music of Juan-Carlos Fromell I'd have to call it “Cuban-Lite." It has Spanish lyrics and the rhythms are latin-based, but it lacks the emotional intensity that we have come to expect from Cuban music. It is also overly produced, in much the same manner as so-called “smooth jazz." While ...
Paquito D'Rivera featuring the New York Voices and Claudio Roditi: Brazilian Dreams
by William Grim
This excellent cd is a recording of a live performance at Manchester Craftsmen's Guild in Pittsburgh. Fans of the New York Voices will probably already be familiar with the live performance recording at the same venue from several years earlier that featured the Voices along with the Count Basie Orchestra. The collaboration among Cuban reed virtuoso ...
