|
Modern jazz with touches of Spain and Latin America. Penas plays both acoustic and electric guitars and is backed by sax, bass, and drums plus a few guests on accordion & piano. Penas was born in Spain, now based in NY and plays with an influence from both. *1. Mostly mid, a 10 minute wander w/varying tempos. Way cool. *2. Deliciously bouncy Brazilian-touched bit of sunshine jazz. 3. Slow/midtempo, shows a decided Flamenco touch. Very nice. *4. Relaxed yet dramatic at first, then lyrical. Great piano solo. 5. Andalusian-infused down/midtempo jam w/cool solos. *6. Bright tropical choro with a delicious playfulness. *7. Slow w/nice accordion accents, sweet and warm. 8. Quirky slow intro, band kicks in randomly. Too short. | ||
