2.0 out of 5 stars not as interesting as it sounds, February 17, 2009

This review is from: Jazz Chamber Trio (Audio CD)

i was tempted by the style and the packaging: paquito d'rivera in an acoustic jazz trio recorded in audiophile-pure live-to-digital. i assumed whatever was on it would be worth checking out. but to me, paquito at his best is sort of post-coltrane blowing meets salsa and other latin beats. this was more one of those jazz meets classical that succeeds at neither. what should have clued me in here was the orchestration -- nothing against the cello or the cellist here, who played beautifully; just not my cup of tea. to me, the arrangements, while pleasant enough, were not especially interesting or thought out, the performances lacked the compelling improvisation of the best jazz, and the songs had all the schmalz of a calle ocho dinner club without the seducto-propulsive latin rhythms. if you like your latin jazz caliente, try "live at keystone korner" instead.
