Editor's Pick: Best of 2010 Award Winner
The West Coast is very lucky to have violinist-composer Susie Hansen, who consistently releases finely crafted and highly swinging dance material. On her new project Hansen orchestrates a repertoire that consists of salsa, charanga, Latin jazz, and a very classy extended cha cha cha medley of Sinatra covers. The compositions mix Spanish and English lyrics, often within the same song. Great job by singers George Balmaseda, Kaspar Abbo, and Hansen. Listen to the killer No Te Metas Conmigo, a red hot charanga number that is one of my favorites here. With bassist Rene Camacho, Jimmy Branly on timbales, pianist Joe Rotondi, and others. First rate stuff, this.
Highly Recommended. (BP, 2010-06-15)
