"Even though this CD includes a brilliantly arranged melange of musical genres, the true
highlight remains the exquisite piano, bass, sax, trumpet, percussion and trombone
improvisations. These recordings give more than ample proof of the trombone's capacity
to sing as a melodically expressive instrument." - Helio Orovio, Havana, September 2006.
