Customer Reviews:

Good mix of Latin influences and traditional jazz.......2006-08-01

This CD pulses with energy! Ruiz incorporates traditional Afro-Cuban influences into his powerful rhythmic and improvisational jazz style. Along with David Sanchez on tenor saxophone and Sepulveda on trumpet, Ruiz pulls out all the stops on "Mambo Numero Cinco" - a piece frequently heard in Cuban-American weddings and gatherings. "Michael's Mambo" showcases Ruiz's rapid-fire improvisational style on the piano. Afro-Cuban influences carry "Giovanni Speaks." Less distinct are "Home Cookin'" and "Overtime Mambo" which seem like watered down swing and have a kitschy Sim City-type feel. Overall, this is an excellent CD to showcase Hilton Ruiz's unique style and incredible musical ability.
