The high point of Willie Colón's ongoing collaboration with Rubén Blades (and close to a career peak for both artists), Siembra exploded on the salsa scene in 1978 and has never been forgotten by fans. Beginning with a minute of playfully deceptive quasi-disco arrangements, Colón and his band slip into a devastating salsa groove for the opener, "Plástico," on which Blades first criticizes America's throwaway society and then brings all of Latin America together with a call to unity. Blades wrote all but one of the songs on Siembra, and shines on all of them; his extended high-tenor salsa scatting lifts "Buscando Guayaba," his tender side comes across on the love song "Dime," and he outlines a devastating life-in-el-Barrio exposé with "Pedro Navaja" (Peter the Knife). For the latter, Colón and Luis Ortiz's tight arrangement adds immeasurably to the song, using street noise and sirens, breaking into an ironic "I like to live in America!," and punching the statement home with a four-trombone line. Reflecting the tough times but optimistic attitude of el Barrio during the late '70s, Siembra joined Cosa Nuestra as one of Willie Colón's career landmarks. ~ John Bush

5 stars A hard-to-find classic and simply a "Must Have"
I spent hours searching for this album on the web without much luck. This album, together with "Metiendo Mano", is a Classic from Ruben Blades/Willy Colon combo. A must have for anyone who loves tropical rythms. I found it at CD Universe at a fair price and fair S/H charge, and it was shipped promptly to me. Thanks, CD Universe!!

In the spring of 2006, MCG Jazz Executive Producer, Marty Ashby, was in New York City for a Doris Duke Charitable Foundation Jazz Network gathering. Following the meeting, Marty and a colleague happened to walk by the 55 Bar in Greenwich Village. Marty saw Sheryl's name on the door suggested they stop in (her name sounded familiar, even though Marty was sure that he did not know her). Within minutes of hearing Sheryl’s first tune Marty realized that he was somehow connected to her playing (a fact that would not be fully understood until many months later). Her musicianship, sense of groove and the unabashed clarity in which she improvised lines propelled Marty – on the spot – to want to work with her. He introduced himself after the set and told her he wanted to produce a record for her. Fortunately, Sheryl had heard of MCG Jazz and thought Marty was only mildly crazy at the time. As it turns out Sheryl grew up in Western Pennsylvania not far from MCG.Now, over three years later, they have put together a collection of songs that have very special meaning for both Sheryl and Marty. They wanted to have this recording be different than anything else she had done in the past which led to the use of a full 16-piece jazz orchestra as the core group. This configuration provided a wide palette to work from; from solo guitar, to screaming full-band sections with Sheryl's “voice†flying over the top of it all. All of the arrangements on the album were done by yet more talented Pittsburghers, Mike Tomaro and Dr. John Wilson. Their engaging writing styles give all of the tunes a fresh appeal to both big band and guitar fans alike.Shortly after they began working together it became clear that they both had a very deep connection to the late guitarist Emily Remler. Sheryl wrote the title track, A New Promise, for Emily as a personal promise to herself to strengthen her dedication to music and carry on what Emily had begun in blazing a trail for female jazz guitarists. There are two other original compositions on the recording Miekkaniemi and Unified Field, which show a wonderful diversity in Sheryl’s writing capabilities.Also included are three compositions by Emily Remler East To Wes, Mocha Spice and Carenia. Given the creative use of the big band arrangements, these pieces are destined ...
