5.0 out of 5 stars Clean, uncluttered and forceful, October 26, 2001

A really excellent album from David Sanchez. Based around augmenting a basic trio of Sanchez (Tenor Sax throughout) Hans Glawischnig (Bass), Antonio Sanchez (drums) the album has forceful contributions from Edsel Gomez on piano and Miguel Zenon on alto sax. The material is an eclectic mixture of material written by Sanchez and Zenon through Wayne Shorters "Prince of Darkness" - a great opener- to Harold Arlen and Ted Koehler's "Ill wind". The album programme works well, but stand out tracks for me are Zenon's " Joyful" with some added percussion, and Sanchez's "Karla's changes". This is a particularly good example of how well Sanchez and Zenon complement each others playing. The sound is very precise, clean and when it needs to be, mellow. Gomez also fits well into the overall sound, particularly effective on "River Tales". " Peace for Vieques" an extended piece also includes Pernell Saturmino's Puerto Rican rainforest effects. This is a full on David Sanchez extended jazz album which deserves a wide audience, and proves how effective he is within the small group setting. Listen to this soon!

This is one of those CD's that offers something new to discover with each listening. The original compositions are interesting and rhythmically diverse. Sanchez is a wonderful tenor player with a strong tone and fabulous range and the group he has assembled for this set are all outstanding.Edsel Gomez's piano playing is particularly good. When Miguel Zenon and Sanchez play together it's really fireworks. Very good straightahead jazz with a few latin flavorings thrown in.

If you don't know the David Sanchez sound, I suggest you get aquatinted - this guy is gonna be around a long time. Usually heavy on the Latin (Cuban) rhythms - this album is more straight-ahead than the others, and even a little beyond with the trio work. The group as a whole works well with each other, and makes for a very good album - maybe even his best yet?
