Brazilian Trio: Forests
by Michael P. Gladstone
This exciting recording is a perfect example of the thorough absorption of the Bossa Nova being integrated with the mainstream jazz piano trio. All three members of Brazilian Trio are, in fact, Brazilians but have lived in New York City for decades,settling in the 1970s, '80s and '90s. Pianist Helio Alves is the youngest ...
Brazilian Trio: Forests
by Karen Hogg
Forests marks the auspicious debut of the Brazilian Trio--pianist Helio Alves, bassist Nilson Matta and drummer Duduka Da Fonseca--three musicians already well known in Brazilian jazz circles, having played with an impressive list of Latin icons, including Paquito D'Rivera, Rosa Passos and Antonio Carlos Jobim. While the traditional piano trio format serves them ...
Arturo O'Farrill & the Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra: Song for Chico
by Tom Greenland
Like the great Thad Jones-Mel Lewis band, pianist Arturo O'Farrill's Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra combines the best aspects of a big horn sound with small-group finesse and flexibility. Song for Chico, O'Farrill's tribute to his legendary father, evinces the influences of South American rhythms, hard bop and what might be termed “post-Latin," representing the latest branchings of ...
Arturo O'Farrill and the Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra: Song for Chico
by Woodrow Wilkins
There's a man doesn't care about labels or genres. He's mainly interested in two things: horns and percussion. It follows that one type of music pleases him more than any other: Latin jazz. Song for Chico, by Arturo O'Farrill and The Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra, is right up this man's alley. Pianist and music director ...
Perez: It's Happenin'
by Michael P. Gladstone
Jazz vocalist Perez (first name Diana) offers a sampling on her third album, It's Happenin' . The instrumental portion of this album is really topflight jazz, but vocally the first half is pleasant at best, finding some inspiration about halfway through the session. Perez is a child of Cuban Irish and Puerto Rican heritage ...
Diana Perez: It's Happenin'
by Marcia Hillman

Backing her up is David Hazeltine (piano), Steve Davis (trombone), Ron Horton (trumpet), Jed Levy (tenor sax, flute), Nat Reeves (bass) and Joe Farnsworth (drums), Hazeltine also ...
Arturo O'Farrill and the Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra: Song For Chico
by Dan McClenaghan
Arturo O'Farrill's Song for Chico is a disc that would have done the old man proud. The “Chico" of the title is Cuban-born Arturo “Chico" O'Farrill, the senior (b.1921; d.2001), the visionary Latin jazz composer who wrote, most famously, the “Afro-Cuban Jazz Suite," recorded in 1950 by Machito and his Afro-Cuban Orchestra, with none other than ...
Hendrik Meurkens: Sambatropolis
by Jerry D'Souza
Playing the vibes and the harmonica is a rather unusual combination. Hendrik Meurkens was drawn to these instruments after he heard Lionel Hampton play the vibraphone on Benny Goodman's Live at Carnegie Hall (Columbia, 1938) and, a few years later, the harmonica of Toots Thielemans. Even as he emerged as an adept player of ...
