Cortinas, Gustavo & Snapshot
Esse
Genre: Jazz
Review: Terrific drummer leads a talented sextet with alternating sax players added. The music covers a wide range and has a Latin tinge but is not what I would call Latin jazz. Mr. Cortinas does a nice job showcasing his fellow musicians with plenty of room to work out. All originals.
FCCs: none
If You Like: Miles Davis' "Sketches of Spain", Antonio Sanchez, Roy Hargrove
Favorite Tracks: (3) The Allegory of the Cave (5) Arete (6) Cogito Ergo Sum (8) On Certainty
Track Review: 1/ bass drum starts> tempos slide back & forth> several solos> ends on uptempo jam and a slow fade 2/ long drone to start> slow tempo jam> slow fade 3/ guitar starts> slow tempo jam> slow fade 4/ trumpet starts> uptempo jam> slow fade 5/ trumpet starts> uptempo jam> quick stop 6/ bass starts> uptempo jam> crescendo end 7/ horns start> slow tempo jam> slow fade 8/ drums start> fast tempo jam> everybody solos> jam> quick stop 9/ bass starts> slow tempo jam> slow fade
