O’s Notes: Latineo is Marc Bischoff (p), Yerman Aponte (b), Jose Espinos (perc) and Mark de Jong (d). Special guest Efraim Trujillo plays sax on “Choices” and Café Casino” giving both a contemporary flavor. The Afro-Cuban jazz is spirited and comes through on all of the nine songs from this Dutch quartet. Espinosa has a fine solo at the end of “Con La Clave Si, Sin La Clave No”. We also enjoyed “Catch You Later” with Bischoff working the keys hard! Two Ways is a strong debut leaving us anxious for volume 2.
