 Live At The Village VanguardSales Rank:1478List Price: $13.98 Lowest New Price: $10.25 Lowest Used Price: $10.78 Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Total Reviews: 4 Customer Reviews:Rating: 4 easy listening Traditional jazz piano in a live venue. It doesn't get any better than this and the cuban flavor adds to the mix. Rating: 4 Mellow piano jazz. I was pleasantly pleased with this CD. I had to listen to it carefully twice to truly appreciate the performers: Bebo Valdés and Javier Colina skillful playing of the piano and bass. The musical selections are varied, but familiar to jazz listners. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys mellow piano jazz. Rating: 5 Great Cuban fun This is Bebo, well, at his seemingly never ending prime. And the dance between he and bassist Javier Colina is the dance of two who anticipate and never overtake. I have only one disappointment in the album, which is superbly recorded, by the way, and that is that I was not at the Vanguard that night. Superb. Rating: 5 Two monsters I've just "discovered" Javier Colina here in Montevideo, Uruguay, South America, during the Jazz Tour Festival in September 2008. I was absolutely amazed by his technique, his swing and his joy in making music. Once at home after the concert I found this CD in Amazon and I said to myself: These two men together must be dynamite. And they really are, not in the sense of a sound explotion but of intelligence, delicacy, good taste and mutual understanding. Bebo Valdes needs no introduction. His amazing touch is always tender, never hammering the piano even in the most turbulent passages. Colina is the new monster of tne bass. He is evidently at ease with the latin touch but also capable of making a breathtaking solo in "Yesterdays" wich has nothing to do with latin music. |
