LA DJ Jose’ Rizo practices what he preaches on radio station KKJZ, as he leads a sizzling band that could fill the airwaves on anything I’d like to cruise to on a Friday night. This time around, violinist Dayren Santamaria gets the spotlight on many of the pieces, and she adds a passionate lilt to pieces like “Fiesta De Charangueros” the exotic “Mambo Mindoro”and the hyper tonic “Descarga Ramon Banda”. Justo Almario is the anchor to this outfit, bringing his beefy tenor to side up with singer James Zavaleta on the title piece and simmering with Ramon Banda on timbales on “Mongorama”. Danilo Lozan’s flute rides the percussive wave like a longboarder on “East LA Meets Napa” , “Helen Of Jazz” and “Quiero Menudo” with the team giving a fest take to Herbie Hancock’s classic “Watermelon Man”. Jump into the Chevy, put the top down and head to Bob’s Big Boy afterwards.
