Customer Reviews:

Authenticity and Purity.......2006-02-13

When the Apache band congregates, something astronomical occurs. The best Monk interpretations since Thelonious. Pure AfroCuban, Pure Jazz, Pure Rhumba. A must have. Support the best.

Love Monk? Buy it! Love Afro-Latin jazz? Buy it!.......2005-07-11

******!Jerry G., leading one of the most astonishingly fluid rhythm sections in jazz, re-assesses Monk's music, digging deep into the rhythmic corners, and re-imagining some Monk standards as latin jazz. When Jerry's not being one of the three or four greatest conga players alive on the planet, he's channeling (a less laconic) Miles on trumpet and fleugelhorn, while Carter Jefferson piles on late-sixties Wayne Shorter-isms on tenor. All is laid over a continuously shifting carpet of astonishing rhythmic interplay between Jerry, bassist/brother Andy and trap drummer percussionist Steve Berrios, playing like a six-handed, six-legged mythic rhythmic demi-god.

BUY IT! BUY MORE COPIES! GIVE THEM TO YOUR FRIENDS! RUMBA!
