Editorial Reviews

Maurice Bottomley, Pop Matters

"Serious chops."

Product Description

The follow-up to his critically acclaimed Focus Point (RKM 2004), Luis Perdomo's second release as a leader is a knockout. Luis is adored by the jazz press, and highly visible on the jazz scene thanks to ongoing tours with Ravi Coltrane and Miguel Zenón and his own dates as a leader.

"Awareness" fulfills Perdomo's long held desire to concentrate his powerful playing into the trio format. Ably assisted by Hans Glawischnig on bass and Eric McPherson on drums, Luis's rich playing broadens our idea of the trio. Bold, daring compositions are matched with an adventurous concept on several tunes: the piano trio is expanded with an additional drummer and bassist, Nasheet Waits and the legendary Henry Grimes.

This review is from: Awareness (Audio CD)

The intellectually stimulating soundscapes on this CD are fascinating. Perdomo is not only a virtuoso but a brilliant composer expressing his alma on each number of this CD. I only have praise for these outstanding musicians that demonstrate originality, talent, authenticity and a musical integrity so difficult to find in our present "cut and paste" music industry of today. Each track has it's own undercurrent of tone poetry. Perdomo and friends have created a strikingly beautiful CD.
