O’s Notes: The Afro-Caribbean Jazz Collective is a nonet Led by guitarist, composer. Jose Guzman. They play Afro-Cuban and Puerto Rican jazz that also have threads of the Chicago jazz scene where Guzman resides. We liked the relaxed “A Sunday Kind of Day”, “Terminal 5” featuring trumpeter Victor Garcia, “Orchard Downs” and “Witches Dance”, all original tunes in a percussion-laden, energetic set.
