O’s Notes: Oscar Hernandez is a proven composer and pianist with four Grammy’s under his belt! Vision features his quintet Alma Libre with Justo Almario (sax), Jimmy Brandy (d), Oscar Cartaya (b) and Christian Morgan (perc). There is exceptional work on vibes by special guest Joe Locke on “Spring”. They bring an energetic dose of Calypso on “Dona Pravi” and “Ritmo Pá Ti” blending with a palate of mixed tempo Latin tunes, notably “Virtually Here”.
