Hot Latin Jazz for the Summer Season: "Isla" is It!,
By Kate Says (Montclair, NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Isla (Audio CD)
I love this CD even more than the band's first two which were just great. Anyone who says that non-Latin musicians can't play Latin jazz authentically are wrong, wrong, wrong! Mark and the band turn on the heat to Latin tunes like "Seis Pa' Chuito", a lovely song by Jose Lugo, and play fantastic Afro-Cuban jazz arrangements to jazz standards such as Cedar Walton's "Black" and Kenny Garrett's "Ain't Nothing But the Blues". My personal favorites - aside from "Black" - are Dizzy Gillespie's "Con Alma", with an intro and interlude based on a traditional Vietnamese (!) song and the bolero "A Free Man" by Donald Brown. "Isla" is definitively a keeper for me.

Grammy nominee in the Latin Jazz Category,
By Emma Bovary "Reader" (San Francisco, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Isla (Audio CD)
This is one of those albums you can play over and over and never tire of. Mark Levine is a master of the piano, always showing great knowledge and respect for the genre, and his group, the Latin Tinge, is on fire. Isla has gotten a lot of airplay on my latin and jazz radio show, and it's the real deal.
