Reviewed 2009-02-10
Wonderful flute (standard flute not pan flute) music from Venezuela. Folk/jazz/pop backed by wonderful cuatro (4-stringed ukulele-like Venezuelan guitar), bass, percussion and trumpet. He’s extremely talented on his instrument and it’s all light, warm, and worth a play. Especially…

1. Fast and bright w/fabulous cuatro and a fun, lively sound.
2. Mid/up w/a bit of a trill and a happy Latin sway.
3. Fast and furious, trumpet adds an interesting touch.
8. Relaxed and romantic, a sweet modern jazz ballad.
9. Upbeat bounce w/nice interplays between flute & cuatro.
10. Fast folk tune with modern jazz energy & lots of style.
11. Bass intro to upbeat Latin jazz. Good work from all.
13. Bright, happy w/joyful percussion. A toe-tapping folk dance.
15. Fast flute/trumpet/cuatro jam. Cool solos later.
