Trombonist Vazquez has the innate ability
of letting his music breathe and speaking eloquently.
It turns on the anvil he calls Afro Puerto Rican Jazz,
but he blends in several idioms that make up Latin jazz.
More, he fleshes the music with swing and bop,
letting the whole coalesce into rich orchestral textures.
His skill as an arranger also leaves a soloist
enough room to make an impact.
The orchestration is top-notch, turning
this into an extraordinary experience.
Judging from the music, the Painted Bride Center
was where the heat was blazing that evening.

Art Center
Editor's Pick:
The trombonist Vazquez moved a
big band into the Painted Bride Art
Center in Philadelphia in March of last year, and put
together a recording that offers a blueprint for some
of the possibilities in the mash up of jazz and Latin
music. A major piece of work.
