Music reviews of Danzon (Dance On)
Music Review: Disappointed
Rating: 3 Stars
Only a couple of cuts on this CD really grooved me. The merging of jazz and Latin is my cup of tea (or substitute a beverage of your own), but I was disappointed in this, especially after seeing the 5-star reviews. I was suspicious from the beginning, with the sappy elevator-music first cut. And, in a rreal jazz band, more than the leader, or one person solos. Here, more than one solo[d, but not enough. Too arranged. I kept wanting to hear an instrumental voice break out from the assembled mass, but rarely did. Maybe Sandoval should have let someone else produce this--it seems too self-centered, including all the old-fashioned posed photos of him in the small brochure included with the CD. Oh, the percussion was tops sthroughout--but even then, more solos!
Description of Danzon (Dance On)
Arturo Sandoval brings all of his skills, enthusiasm, and connections to bear on this 1993 recording, composing 8 of the 11 tunes and fusing Afro-Cuban rhythms, jazz improvisation, and some unusually well-handled pop textures. Guest vocalists include Gloria Estefan, Vikki Carr, and Bill Cosby, while Sandoval scats ebulliently on "Groovin' High," which epitomizes the date's high spirits. Through it all, the trumpeter plays superbly, taking his stimulus directly from a bevy of talented percussionists who keep the beats percolating and multiplying. The support is terrific, with several outstanding Latin-jazz musicians making their presence felt, including percussionist Giovanni Hidalgo, flutist Dave Valentin, and pianist Danilo P?rez, and regular Sandoval associates trombonist Dana Teboe and saxophonist Ed Calle. It's a CD that demands dancing. --Stuart BroomerCuba CDs
