4.0 out of 5 stars Strong Set, February 13, 2005

This review is from: Live at the Blue Note (Audio CD)

I was fortunate to be in the audience the night of this performance in 1988. Dave Valentin and his band were tight. There are two cuts from this CD that take me back to the intimacy of the setting at the Blue Note listening to this wonderful musician cook. "Marcosinho" and "Monkey Buttons" percolate with the intensity created by musicians interacting with each other. This is a must have CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME!, June 16, 1999

Dave Valentin is brilliant! This 5-star gem of breezin' tropical tunes is the perfect romantic accompaniment to a magical interlude on the moon-washed veranda of your island estate!

5.0 out of 5 stars Some of the best Latin Jazz around, January 9, 2007

This review is from: Live at the Blue Note (Audio CD)

This is a great live set Dave Valentin and his group recorded dedicating the album to the late great Latin Jazz pianist Jorge Dalto.

Here Dave plays with:

- Lincoln Goines on the Bass

- Bill O'Connell on Piano (like he always does with Dave Valentin)

- Robert Ameen od Drums

and

- Giovanni Hidalgo on Percussion.

Covering some of Dave's compositions as well as many from other great composers like: Mongo Santamaria, Milton Nascimento, Lennon and McCartney, Wayne Shorter, etc. adding like Dave calls it: "Rice and Beans" to these compositions, making them great Latin Jazz tunes.

Very recommendable if you're into Jazz and/or Latin Jazz.
