review by Peter Watrous - courtesy www.descarga.com
Sublime isn’t the half
of it. Here comes a working band, one that could be heard all over
New York when there were more clubs to play. It’s a charanga road
band, and solid. But Bailando is better than just solid; the band’s
come to play, and the whole album just sounds damn good, with better
than good singing, and a great, swinging string section along with a
sparkling coro. Connie Grossman, the flutist, has the Cuban sound
down perfectly, and the group’s resume — listed extensively in the
liner notes — makes the band the most educated group working the
Latin circuit in New York. This is good. Just listen to the veteran
bassist Marino Solano if you want a thrill.
Highly Recommended. (Peter Watrous, 2006-05-21)
