I love this CD, because it has everything: Fast, slow, vocal, instrumental, and it all sounds great. I found Nelson's website through a search, and was impressed with everything he's done, and it sent me to Amazon.com, so I got the CD. I listen to it every day. I hope he puts another one out, soon. He's such an amazing musician. I like how he features the sound of the Tres, and includes it in so many different styles. He's great.

I've been a big fan of Nelson's since I noticed him on Marc Anthony's HBO special. He a fabulous Tres player! But, I never knew he had his own Cd out. So, I got it and I love it. He's got his own style, and you can really hear his personality come through these songs. It always puts me in a good mood. Danny Rivera's "Alma Mia" is really great, but my favorite song is "Alma con Alma"(soul to soul) with just the Tres and no singer at all. This album is really great. It's got the true cuban rhythms, but with a jazzier sound. Really warm and sunny.

Some classic New York latin jazz sounds here. Standouts include "Somos del mismo barro" and "Serenata en tambores," the latter being Shubert's serenade. "No Tienes porque llorar" appears but a better version can be found on Cachao's "Ahora Si" CD (done in changui style there).
