Carlos Sarduy
Charly En La Habana
CD
(Universal/Pimienta 360 758),
Released 2006;
Editor's Pick:
Modern jazz-fusion, direct from Havana, featuring a 19-year-old trumpeter. And as much as I’m curious about the new kid trumpeter from Havana, it’s the group concept that interests me, and on the opening track, check out how the rhythm section grooves under his solo, a funky, hard masterpiece of new rhythm. Charly’s after something different in his soloing, too, sounding almost like Lester Bowie, the great American trumpeter, going in and out of tune, smearing notes and roughing up his playing. He takes on Wayne Shorter’s ESP; Bobby Carcassas plays piano, and he does a duet with Chucho Valdes on another piece. The band includes Harold Lopez Nussa on piano most of the time, and Lazaro Rivero on bass. Amadito Valdes plays on one tune, and Teresa Garcie Caturla sings on a tune. All very cool; a great debut, verging on timba jazz.
Highly Recommended. (Peter Watrous, 2006-05-20)
