MUSIC REVIEW BY George W Harris, Jazz Weekly

VIEW THE CD DETAIL PAGE

Exciting and enticing moments from Iberia and beyond take place on this album led by bassist Piet Verbist along with pianist Milan Verbist, saxist Tom Van Dyck, drummer Juan Sainz, Carlos Cortes on flamenco guitar and percussion and the inclusion of Carmelo Muriel playing the traditional flutelike bansuriney. The ideas range from a modal and Coltranish "Bull" featuring some searing soprano to Andalusian exoticism with glorious alto sax and flute on the warm toned "Al-Andablues". Cortes and Verbist saunter through a rich folk flavored read of "A Child Is Born" and the leader lays down a relentless dance pulse on the dramatic "La Filosofia Del Jamon" that a dramatic climax of piano and percussion. Romantic folk guitar serenades on "Y Alla Ella esta" and the castanets get the dancers on the floor for the entrancing "Nuevo Alterado". Sweaty and smoky late nights in Cadiz.
