O’s Notes: Bill Summers (percussion) and Irvin Mayfield (t) return with the fourth edition of Los Hombres Calientes. The formula is full engagement with local artists in Trinidad, Haiti, Cuba and New Orleans. They are able to extract local culture, sound and feel, true feeling from the heart. The songs are traditional tunes, contemporary Latin covers and several new tracks adding up to 27 in all. We can safely say that you’ll engage on a minimum of 2 or 3 but suggest that you buckle up and get ready to enjoy a spicy Caribbean ride!
