An actual Tuesday Tune... on Tuesday! What a novel idea.
Anyway... having just returned from South Beach to find Michigan even colder than when I left... I thought I'd try to warm things up with some Latin style jazz.
This song is from Roy Hargrove's Crisol, a US/Cuban band formed in Havana in 1996. Hargrove was originally known for his "hard bop" jazz style and this album was his first foray to stretch him. There is a beautiful asymmetry to the Afro Cuban rhythms that keeps the ear interested, while never losing the anticipated structure that makes music pleasurable. Personally, I just love the strong use of trombone... deep but energetic.
Enjoy... "Afrodisia" by Roy Hargrove's Crisol... off of Habana.
