About the band
The quartet leans heavily on the Latin side of jazz, with a repertoire plundered from New York to Brazil, and treatments echoing the Afro-Cuban stylings of the 1940's and 1950's.
The instrumentation of tenor saxophone, keyboard, guitar and congas offers a collective sound that is subdued in volume but not in intensity, and with the emphasis on the melodic and rhythmic elements of jazz, the quartet delivers engaging, accessible and buoyant music.
And glory be, you can dance to a good deal of the offerings, and you can certainly whistle the tunes on the way home.
