Exemplary Combination of Latin Rhythms and VigorousJazz Improvisations!
Trumpeter Brian Lynch has had an illustrious career, beginning with the ArtBlakey’s Jazz Messengers and continuing as a member of the current Phil WoodsQuintet. In between, he has led many projects and recorded many albums as aleader, and established himself as one of the top jazz trumpeters in the US. Oneof his assets is his deep understanding of and familiarity with Latin jazz,inspired by Brazilian trumpeter Claudio Roditi and developed through hiscollaborations with Brazillian, Puerto Rican and Cuban musicians.
The Brian Lynch Afro Cuban Jazz Orchestra is a culmination of thesedevelopments. The relatively small, nine-piece band features five horn playersand two percussionists, and can sound as big and expansive or as tight and smallas the situation demands. As we can see from this collection of medium- toslow-tempo boleros, this band represents an exemplary combination of authenticLatin rhythms and vigorous jazz improvisations.
As an added bonus, Lynch’s long-time boss and legendary alto player Phil Woodscontributes brilliant solos on “Celia,” “I’m A Fool To Want You” and “You’veChanged.”
“From luminous mambos or in serene, pensive underpinnings, this group reallyhits the mark for subtle yet clearly delineated music that Lady Day surely wouldhave shed a tear or two over, as might we all.” -Michael G. Nastos,allmusic.com
