SALSA POWER 'With this tribute, Cubop has taken the big band sound to a new level and I'm wondering how they are going to top this.' LATIN BEAT 'a must for Latin big band fanatics that, in my humble opinion, will have you dancing with joy.' JOSE RICO 'Utilizing the expertise of the veteran arranger and pianist Eddy Martínez, who did the outstanding arrangements, Van Merwijk was able to capture that Latin big band sound and spirit. The band beautifully interprets tunes that were either composed or made famous by Moré, all Cuban standards. This CD swings from beginning to end. SONNY BRAVO (New York arranger/ piano player for Tito Puente for many years ‘…as I'm listening, the track that almost knocked me off my chair was: "A Puerto Padre!" Wow! Kudos to Marc for taking it where no man has gone before, not even J.M. Ceruto! Great piano solo, too! A well deserved tip-of-the-hat to a great aggregation, which you have indeed done and done it very well! I think the CD is terrific, incl. the charts, the "adaptations," and the solos! MARTY SHELLER (legendary NY arranger) '…a superb job. Terrific arrangements, excellent execution and wonderful musicianship ¡¡Viva The Latin Jazz!! jazzcaribe@hotmail.com |
