: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Chicago-based tenor saxophonist Carlos Vega taps into the energy :,
: of the hard bop movement of the late 50s, with this quintet :
:' session that channels the vision of Art Blakey's iconic Jazz ':
,: Messengers. Filtering Blakey's forward thrusting style through :,
: his Puerto Rican heritage and extensive time spent with latin :
:' and salsa bands in his native Miami, Vega's concept reveals ':
,: itself on the driving opening cut, "Art of the Messenger." :,
: Propelled by the powerful rhythms of drummer Xavier Breaker, :
:' bassist Josh Ramos and pianist Stu Mindeman anchor the quintet ':
,: throughout the session, with trumpeter Victor Garcia joining :,
: Vega on this formidable front line. Subsequently, Vega turns :
:' this hard bop powerhouse on its collective ear with "Bird's ':
,: Word," a rousing latin jazz homage to Charlie Parker. Vega's :,
: take on the hard bop lineage incorporates stops in Chicago and :
:' Miami, allowing his mentors to clearly speak through his work. ':
,: His take on the lexicon through these eleven originals is in no :,
: way nostalgic, but expressively looking forward through the lens :
:' of personal history. ':
