Seattle may
be home to expensive coffee and software moguls, but it too has embraced the
multicultural sound of Latin jazz fused with Cuban timba and more, as
evidenced by the debut of Costa Rican vocalist
Carlos Cascante.
Produced, recorded and arranged by pianist Julio Jáuregui, Recuerdos is a
surprisingly diverse and upbeat collection of jazz-inspired Cuban rhythms,
with Cascante providing solid lead vocals along with a host of special
guests including trumpeter Ray Vega, bassist Joe Santiago, trombonist Doug
Beavers, saxophonist Ted Dortch and conguero
Paoli Mejías. Rounding out the ensemble
are Dean Schmidt on bass, Jeff Busch on drums,
Frank Medina
on congas and trumpeter Thomas Marriott, who is the focus of Jáuregui’s
swinging tune “Tomasito.” New takes on Latin standards such as Pedro Flores’
“Obsesión” and Antonio Fernández’s “Al Vaivén de mi Carreta” are injected
with more modern harmony while the solid rhythm section keeps everything
danceable, especially Santiago’s rock-solid tumbaos. Vega sprinkles
bop-latino magic on the Cascante-Jáuregui tune “El Negro Tiene Tumbao,”
which flirts with a timba-like montuno and some funky bass-playing by Dean
Schmidt.
With
Jáuregui at the helm, Cascante’s Recuerdos is a very enjoyable ride in the
company of fine musicians.
