A combination of earthy folk voices and sizzling modern Latin sounds make for rich listening on this album by Jesus Hernandez/p, Tim Ferguson/b, Mark Holen/dr, Alfonse Cid/voc-fl, Peter Brainin/ts-ss and guests Randy Brecke/fh with Sergio Gomez/voc. Brecker locks rich horns with Brainin on the flowing “El Demonio Llama A Mi Puerta” and Gomez’s earthy and fragile voice charms on the folksy ballad “Farruca de Argel.” The rest is a mix of modal and post bop on the salsa side, with Ferguson’s bass creating a rich line for Brainin’s soprano on the artsy “Jaleos Del Geloso Extreemo” and some lovely piano by Hernandez teaming with flute and sax on a sensuous “La Africana.” The team gets fun and festiv on “No Encuento Tu Pasion” and the percussion sizzles on a picante read of the bop chestnut “Round Midinight,” taken as a late night tango, while the team shuffles to a Buleria on “Vente Pa.” Caliente and swinging.
