Papo Vazquez
From The Badlands
CD
(Picaro Records 00101),
Released 2007;
Editor's Pick:
Trombonist bandleader Papo Vazquez is back with a fresh installment from his Pirates and Troubadours band. With velocity and momentum, this funky, crisp, inspired project seems to generate its power from someplace deep. Heavy on the percussion (Richie Flores, Anthony Carillo, Joe Gonzalez) and that's alright by me. Also with sax players Willie Williams and Sherman Irby, pianists Freddy McFarlane and Edsel Gomez, Ricky Rodriguez on bass, Yomo Toro, vocalists Herman Olivera, Roberto Cepeda and Milton Cardona (coro) — others. Originally from Puerto Rico, Vazquez has been around the block a few times: Batacumbele, Ray Barretto, Conjunto Libre, Descarga Boricua, Chico O'Farril's orchestra — these are just some of his credits. Today he's one of Philadelphia's treasures.
Highly Recommended. (BP, 2007-05-14)
