RELEASE NOTES
A tight, bright, infectious blend of island rhythms, contemporary jazz . Very
accomplished, very musical a world-music hybrid of salsa, soca, frocuno and
gospel ...3D draws from this multitude of influences to create a cohesive
musical whole.
Drummer Michael Tate and guitarist Chris Amelar formed 3D in 1999 to write and
perform music that is diverse, dynamic and danceable. While their recordings
feature original material, live performances by the band also include inspired
interpretations of a wide variety of popular music.

taste of melody and rhythm. Be assured, these men come to play.

Calloway, Ray Vega, Harry Belafonte, Oscar Hernandez, Chaka Khan, Michael
Urbaniack, Phil Keaggy and many other popular artists. In addition, the members

RITMO DE VIDA is a vibrant production with 10 songs balancing vocals and
instrumentals with a refreshing and original sound, presenting salsa, boleros,
socarengue, Latin jazz and frocuno.
Drummer Michael Tate and guitarist Chris Amelar are the founding members of the
band, and even though they are Americans, both feel and play the Latino sound
with such force that the listener believes that they are Latins. Keyboardist
Lenny Underwood joins them in live performances and this recording. Talented
singer Herman Olivera lends his voice to 3 of the songs included on this album.
With RITMO DE VIDA, 3D breaks away from the old prejudices and rules to
establish new styles with global character. With this record the audience can
dance or just sit back, relax, and enjoy the music.
