Amadito Valdés
Bajando Gervasio
CD
(Universal/Pimienta 360551),
Released 2002;
Editor's Pick:
The record starts with a tune in 3/4, with modern jazz harmony. That explains the direction of the album: it's in part a Latin jazz record, with fine soloing by Maraca on flute on two tunes, and it's all thoughtful. There are three danzones, and "La Fiesta de Amadito" is a descarga, with Juan De Marcos Gonzales on tres. David Alfaro plays some fine post Chick Corea piano on a bunch of tracks, including a good guaguancó, "Guaguanco de los Barrios." It's ambitious. (Peter Watrous, 2002-12-26)
