O’s Notes: The promise of allure is locked in with the pairing of the headliners bassist and vocalist Gabriel Espinosa and the legendary Hendrik Meurkens on harmonica and vibraphone. Each of them contributes original compositions to match two classics. The talent pool continues with Anat Cohen adding clarinet and sax on 4 selections; vibrant drummers Antonio Sanchez and Adriano Santos splitting duty; Allison Wedding singing on 8 tracks and Tierney Sutton featured on “Besame Mucho”. This is enjoyable end to end and a true taste of Samba Little Samba.
