Purchase Acting Up! CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Conrad Herwig Que Viva Coltrane CD (2004) (Import) Netherlands
Acting Up! album
 $16.09 
What more could Latin jazz fans ask for, seriously? Not only are all the players just this side of top guns, they have been playing together in the same group for just shy of ten years. An all-star lineup and the genuine synergy that comes with regular collaboration do not happen often. When they do, well, it's clave magic. Pianist Edsel Gomez's playing is sly and intuitive. Bassist John Benítez, whose Descarga in New York could be one of the decade's most defining Latin jazz records, is strong and confident. Richie Flores is the genre's most underappreciated conguero, and his playing is typically incendiary. Robby Ameen is, of course, among the most in-demand drummers on the scene, and his playing is dazzling as always. Brian Lynch has a voice all his own, and of course Conrad Herwig is one ...

Acting Up! CD music
$16.49 
Trumpeter Brian Lynch has often played second fiddle to his Latin jazz A-lister friends. Be it with trombone giant Conrad Herwig, piano luminary Eddie Palmieri, or any of the host of New York Latin jazzers with whom Lynch has collaborated, the most notable records that he has appeared on have him listed after the word "featuring." The Brian Lynch Latin Jazz Sextet features a group of players who are similarly stellar sidemen, who have backed the biggest artists in the genre, but whose names are not often seen in lights. With the release of Conclave, their day in the sun has ...
| | Jerry Gonzalez Rumba Buhana CD (2005)
Acting Up! music CDs
$12.89 
Jerry Gonzalez & the Fort Apache Band: Joe Ford (alto); Jerry Gonzalez (trumpet, flugelhorn, congas, percussion); Larry Willis (piano); Andy González (bass instrument); Steve Berrios (cymbals).
In keeping with the recent trend of holding up jazz heroes for Latin listening audiences, a cause championed by Conrad Herwig and Brian Lynch in their tributes to Coltrane and Davis, Jerry Gonzalez & the Fort Apache Band offer up their talents to immortalize Art Blakey and his mighty Jazz Messengers. With some very creative renditions of Jazz Messengers B-sides, like "Crisis" done in a slinky Afro and "Madi's Smile" done in cha cha, Gonzalez shows himself yet again to be a great Latin interpreter of the jazz repertoire. There could not have been a better choice of group than the Fort Apache Band to pay the Messengers ...
