Bobby Sanabria & : Bobby Sanabria & Quarteto Ache
by John Kelman
One of the most obvious things about watching Dizzy Gillespie, in particular when pursuing his Afro-Cuban muse, was how much fun he was having. All too often musicians become so entrenched in the seriousness of their work that they forget music is also meant to be passionate and pleasurable, as much fun to hear as it ...
Dave Liebman Group: In a Mellow Tone
by John Kelman
Don't let the title of Dave Liebman's latest disc, In a Mellow Tone, fool you. While the ambience is generally more relaxed than his usual fare, this is no easy-going collection of standards; instead what we have is an album that, for all its mellifluous aspirations, has a subtle intensity, and a certain feeling that all ...
Pablo Aslan: Avantango
by Elliott Simon
Two bodies entwine and then move with intense rhythm—this is tango. Bassist Pablo Aslan, an integral component of NYC’s Latin and downtown jazz landscapes, has provided rich tonality and compositional skill to projects with the late saxophonist/flutist Thomas Chapin, trumpeter Frank London, cellist Yo-Yo Ma, and clarinetist David Krakauer. In addition, Aslan is a major exponent ...

Harvie S: Texas Rumba

The leader’s 1996 visit to Cuba offered him the opportunity to study with masters in the field. Politics aside, ...
Pablo Aslan: Avantango
by Mark F. Turner
The exotic and romantic combination of tango and traditional jazz is distinctively expressed on Buenos Aires bassist Pablo Aslan's new recording. With energetic tension, the music on Avantango is performed with a style that is quite refreshing. An ardent musician and composer Aslan is at the pinnacle of his field and has earned accolades from performances ...
Harvie S: Texas Rumba
by Franz A. Matzner
Bassist/Composer Harvie S made two good decisions when producing his latest release, Texas Rumba : he emphasized his turn towards Latin Jazz, and he recorded it live, thus presenting to best advantage his bands ability to build energy, keep loose, and entertain. Unfortunately, the latter choice compromised the sound quality, leaving the recording ...
Harvie S: Texas Rumba
by C. Michael Bailey
Recorded live (as are all great jazz albums), Texas Rumba thunders with adore y la alegra. It is Latin Jazz fresh and crisp as spring tomatoes and cilantro. Harvie S (AKA Harvie Swartz) is an exceptional bassist, composer, and band leader who has immersed himself in the Latin music pabulum, transforming the style into a innovative ...
