Cortinas, Gustavo & Snapshot
Esse
Genre: Jazz
Review: Terrific drummer leads a talented sextet with alternating sax players added. The music covers a wide range and has a Latin tinge but is not what I would call Latin jazz. Mr. Cortinas does a nice job showcasing his fellow musicians with plenty of room to work out. All originals.
FCCs: none
If You Like: Miles Davis' "Sketches of Spain", Antonio Sanchez, Roy Hargrove
