Dafnis Prieto: Absolute Quintet
by R. Emmet Sweeney
Dafnis Prieto's latest release on the upstart Zoho label is The Absolute Quintet, a startlingly eclectic and occasionally maddening album. He creates strange shapes and shifting moods, which are handled adroitly by his bandmates in a unique bass-less setup.

Dafnis Prieto: Absolute Quintet

by Todd S. Jenkins
Harvie S's inimitable, fearless and fun-filled approach to Latin jazz reaches a new pinnacle on Funky Cha. The bassist's musical sensibilities couldn't be summed up better than on the opening track, a re-visioning of Monk's “Rhythm-A-Ning. His bass and Daniel Kelly's piano pulse out Thelonian arhythmic fragments over Beaver Bausch's tappy drum groove, building in quirky ...
Harvie S: Funky Cha
by Jerry D'Souza
The Latin jazz beat goes on, and Harvie S takes his turn to profile the music on Funky Cha. The bassist works with a core quartet, augmenting it with four other musicians; all eight appear on “Mariposa en Mano. The music finds its muse in the various styles that make up the body ...

Carlos Barbosa-Lima has the ability to enrich a song with remarkable grace. He makes each one sing eloquently, bringing out its inherent beauty, not hurrying his passage as he lights a spark underneath. While his technique is undeniable, his creativity is the trump card. Barbosa-Lima's choice of tunes on Carioca is judicious. He draws ...
Bonnie Bramlett & Mr. Groove Band: Roots, Blues & Jazz
by Jerry D'Souza
Bonnie Bramlett is back. She is best remembered for the music she made during the sixties and the early seventies with her husband Delaney.
