| Grammy Vinner 'Best Jazz Release 1999'
There's a '60s feeling about "Jazz and Mambo", with the old virtues of jazz music, the great grooves and an intimate, warm expression. The self-confident young tenor saxophonist (who also brings along his clarinet) is in his element among the familiar melodies on a CD where the code word seems to be that the music must swing. And it does, with a groovy rhythm section playing like a closely-knit organic unit. |
