Free Music Review: Tremendous Talent
Hit: 5 Stars
It's unfortunate that the review from Houston didn't know the history behind the band. I can understand how their name could confuse. LHC is a group of Americas finest musicians. Bill Summers, the extraordinary percussionist for Herbie Hancock, took several of New Orleans top young musicians on several trips to Africa and the Caribbean to explore the music of the regions. The result is a band that is able to convey a deep understanding of the roots of American Jazz through their music. The band plays an amazing range of genre's from New Orleans street funk to contemporary jazz. At a time when politics has divided people all over the world, this band has helped bring the beauty of Cuban music to the American people. I do not personally know any of the musicians but I would travel long distances to hear them. Look up Irvin Mayfields interview with Terry Gros on NPR. He's an amazing young trumpet player.
Los Hombres Calientes Poster
Los Hombres Calientes is an impressive debut by the New Orleans-based band of the same name led by veteran percussionist Bill Summers (Headhunters, Herbie Hancock) and young lions Irvin Mayfield on trumpet and Jason Marsalis on drums. Respect does not have to mean dull, and this sextet draws smartly from Afro-Cuban tradition and jazz. Moreover, in their mix of originals and Afro-Cubanized standards, Summers & Co. are not afraid to take chances. In "Rhumba para Jason," Mayfield growls, moans, and cries over a light, exact rumba groove. "Stardust" suggests a Brazilian-flavored bolero. More intriguingly, the music has a lived-in feel--both when it suggests an urban, genteel ballroom ("Victor el Rojo," "Stardust") and when it evokes a Caribbean neighborhood backyard rich with echoes of Africa ("Ye Ye O"). This is a band worth following. --Fernando GonzalezInternational Music CDs
