Andy Narell - Steel Pan Caribbean Jazz Project - Performer Dario Eskenazi - Piano Dave Samuels - Marimba, Vibraphone Luis Conte - Percussion, Bongos, Conga, Timbales Mark Walker - Drums Oscar Stagnaro - Bass Paquito D'Rivera - Clarinet, Sax (Alto)
This was the debut release by the Caribbean Jazz Project , a colorful co-op project that combines together the very different but complementary styles of Paquito D'Rivera (doubling on alto and clarinet), Dave Samuels (on marimba and vibes) and the brilliant steel drummer Andy Narell . Backed by a four-piece rhythm section, the accessible group sticks mostly to catchy group originals that range from Latin jazz to Caribbean music. The likable results are melodic and not overly predictable. This CD gives listeners an excellent example of the group's sound. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
