Jazz Ruler Type: Latin
Performance: 4
Sound: 4
Score: 82
O’s Notes: Jane Bunnett (s-sax, fl) started Maqueque about five years ago as a platform for young female composers to express themselves. They’ve evolved to their 3rd album“Tierra Firme,“as a critically acclaimed band noted for energetic, Afro-Latin beats and a solid modern jazz groove. DÜnae Olane (p, vocals), Tailin Marrero (b, vocals), Yissy Garett (d), Mary Paz (perc, vocals) and Joana Majoke (vocals) blend their cultures into a rich listening experience. The mood is bright and the Caribbean vibe is fresh, spontaneous, and infused with creative vocalizations.
