“Chembo Corniel is the consummate contemporary percussionist…whose technique is like adding hot spices to a cold salad and the blend of this group of musicians can make me sing forever.” – Grady Tate, Jazz Vocalist
“Corniel’s group wisely explores works from their musical peers, finding a balance between the past and present of New York Latin Jazz.” – Chip Boaz, Latin Jazz Corner
“This is wonderful work from top to bottom, and I can’t remember a newly released Latin-Jazz album I’ve enjoyed this much. It’s energetic but heavily romantic and furtively old-fashioned.” – Marc Meyers, JazzWax.com
“This CD will surely be met with critical acclaim for its ability to transcend yet incorporate so many genres and styles of Jazz and Latin music.” – Cathy Gruenfelder, Jazz Improv Magazine
