As the fourth release in the Colors of Latin Jazz series, From Samba
to Bomba! will appeal to the Latin jazz connoisseur because of its
exciting array of compositions that feature the diverse rhythms of a
variety of Latin cultures. From the Brazilian samba to the Puerto
Rican bomba ù and a number of styles in between, including the
ChaChaCha, mambo, soca, charanga, maracatu, and more ù this CD
includes the "Mambo King" himself, Tito Puento, playing his hit
"Mambo King" from the award-winning Mambo of the Times album issued
on Concord Picante. He is the full-on mambo master on this ballroom
dance of Cuban origin that gained greater notoriety when it was
featured in the movie Mambo Kings. Puento's work on this composition
rivals much of his work of the '50s and early '60s in what critics
have hailed as his most imaginative Latin musical period, a period
that spawned "Dancemania" and "Tambo." The former featured "Mambo
Gozon," a volcanic display of his greatness and mastery of the mambo
but "Mambo King" encompasses all the greatness of those years and
more! The Brazilian rush is realized "Manhattan Style" as Trio Da Paz
kicks off this CD with special guests JoAnne Brackeen and Claudio
Roditi, an energetic composition issued originally on Brasil From the
Inside. Tania Maria lends her breezy scats on "Sangria." A very
special Dutch-German favorite adds his innovative global mix to the
Brazilian samba with brilliant jazz harmonica played by none other
than the exciting Hendrik Muerkens on his "Sambahia." Originally
issued on Sambahia by Concord Picante, Hendrik plays with exceptional
finesse on an instrument not found often in jazz ensembles. It's a
very refreshing blend of harmonic pleasures! Monty Alexander's Ivory
& Steel presents the excitement of reggae on "Reggae-Later" from his
popular Jamboree. His mastery of this popular music of Jamaican
origin that combines his native styles with elements of rock and soul
is performed to reggae perfection with Alexander's very hip piano bop
stylings accompanied by steel pans and hand drums. This track is a
great jam. Ray Barretto, the highly inventive conguero and
percussionist, is amazing as he fuels the bomba "Bomba-Riquen."
Poncho Sanchez is ablaze on "La Familia" and continues to work his
magic on one of the best solos on the CD even though he is generous
about sharing the solo limelight. The popular soca played richly by
Mongo Santamaria on "Soca Me Nice" and the Afro-Cuban charanga is
well imagined by Dave Samuels on "Charanga, Si, Si" with Dave
Valentin. They impose no restrictions on your imagination with the
sonority of their uncommon Latin flavors. Originally issued on New
Horizons, the pair work The Colors of Latin Jazz into an exciting
musical palette that is as beautifully vibrant as the rhythms they
represent. This exciting CD is a Latin jazz collector's dream.
