- An excursion into the world of Bossa nova here, with Nicola Conte remixing the Venezuelan Aldemaro Romero. 'Tema de la Onda' is rich in harmonic invention, with scat vocals and some tasteful solos on piano and vibes.
On the flip side Latin musician Frank Hernandez meets Gerardo Frisina on 'Barloventeno Blues', with a highly distinguished trumpet solo. The same track is here in its original acoustic clothing, with a mighty fine drum section to boot and more emphasis on the spoken vocal part. One for you jazzers, both nu and old!
