Album Review

Reviewed 2005-01-07
Hot Latin jazz from a local pianist/singer/composer/arranger. She’s backed by a great band, including Bill Ortiz (from Santana) on horns, and Giovanni Hidalgo & Jimmy Branly on percussion. It’s tight, sexy and sophisticated. Guest vocalists add an extra touch of class.

*1. Uptempo attention-getter w/sexy mambo overtones.
2. Sexy vocals in a relaxed, down-tempo sway.
3. Both uptempo & lazy. Chorus/great horn work. Nice.
*4. Deliciously jazzy rumba w/good vocals/great work from band.
*5. A sweet, lazy little dance w/typically good arrangements.
6. Caribbean-flavored midtempo w/accents of accordion.
*7. Big drum/horn intro. Fast, energetic & rich.
8. Flamenco claps, spoken lyrics, uptempo & interesting.
*9. Mid/uptempo jam w/a playful, small-club feel. Very nice.
10. Nice work from band. Mid/uptempo that gets energy.
11. DJ mix of #8. I like the original better but this is ok.
