This review is from: Alma De Santiago (Audio CD)

Alma de Santiago is #1 on the headphones beside my running machine, (displacing Mingus Live at Carnegie Hall)...Bunnett's fusion of Cuban and Jazz rythmns is totally unique and in this album she works with several different bands representing various schools of music throughout Cuba...my favourite track is # 4 - Jane and Los Hoyas... the sounds spill out of the studio onto the streets like a street procession ala New Orleans but of horns and congos-a sort of orchestrated chaos of rythmns and complex harmonies that just makes your heart pound. Jane's an amazing soprano saxophonist and she has some ...trumpet sound beside her...amazing piano lines played by locals including a 17 year old kid from Santiago! It's unbelievable! Their music is the real deal, I bought their cd Ritmo and Soul as well and to hear Bunnett on flute brings Roland Kirk back to life for me. Remember Kirk's Spirits? Check out Jane Bunnett's.
