O’s Notes: CJP has been together for years creating a contemporary blend of Latin grooves that have pop, sizzle and groove! The formula includes snappy brass and includes Dave Samuels on vibes and marimba. Max Murray adds lots of octaves on bass and Joe McCarthy and Roberto Quintero handle Latin beats on drums and percussion. Whether it’s a cover of Coltrane’s “Naima”, Dizzy’s “Soul Sauce” or Samuels’ “Five For Elvin”, this combination sounds good. This is like Latin cuisine, a spicy mix of flavors that leaves you satisfied in every way.
