For her debut CD San Francisco based pianist Mauleon has put together a helluva band, with the timbales master Orestes Vilato, trumpeters John Worley and Louis Fasman, trombonist Jeff Cressman, bassist David Belove, drummer Paul VanWageningen, saxophonist Alex Murzyn, and on select tracks the wonderful flute player John Calloway, baritone saxophonist Melecio Magdaluyo, and drummer Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez. Mauleon also plays percussion instruments, but primarily is on acoustic piano for these ten cuts, eight of which she wrote. Her touch is medium light, dramatic when called upon, quite steady and consistent especially in the montuno area, and highly melodic. There are four outstanding original instrumental pieces. The introductory "Songomania" is a very hip, singing horn melody with riveting flute, piano and trombone solos as a prelude for a montuno allowing Vilato to cut loose. "Fresa y Chocolate" is a heavier horn chart with Magdaluyo's bari added, a funkier cha cha and a feature for Fasman's rip it up trumpet. The best of the bunch "Congri" has repetitive horn lines, more of Calloway's determined flute excursions, and a fresh sound that leaps out of the speakers. The title track is a hotter horn chart letting Hernandez and worley fly. All of these are great examples of Mauleon's talent as a writer and bandleader. Of the remainder, a lovely version of "'Round Midnight" with Calloway leading, Murzyn's flute on the flamenco informed "Gitana," guitar by Don Fontowitz, and the nature lover's piano piece "New Dawn" add contrast. Further, there are two quite different vocal cuts, one being a take on the Staple Singers hit "I'll Take You There" with El Negro and lead singer Brenda Boykin, and Boykin leading a chorale in a Afro-Cuban gospel fusion for "At The River," using the line "one foot in Africa, one foot in Cuba, one hand in Brasil, the other in America." This CD show more than promise, it is the beginning of a new star rising on the latin jazz scene, and from all indications, Mauleon has just scratched the surface. Can't wait to hear her next effort. Highly recommended. ~ Michael G. Nastos

| | Ray Barretto Standards Rican-Ditioned CD (2006)
Round Trip
$8.79 This was Ray Barretto's last album, recorded exactly a month before he suffered a heart attack that contributed to his death in February 2006. Sadly, it would also be one of pianist Hilton Ruiz's final sessions, for he passed away in June 2006 under mysterious circumstances. As such, it is poignant that both of these open-minded Latin jazz musicians would be looking backwards at this stage, for Standards Rican-ditioned is an album of standards recorded in an old-fashioned, straight-ahead style. This CD reverts back to a formula that Blue Note, Riverside and Prestige sometimes pursued in the middle of the 20th century: set a straight-forward, hard bop rhythm and accent it lightly with congas. As Barretto knew so well from long experience in the studios back then, the ...
| | Henry Threadgill This Brings Us To, Vol. 1 CD (2009) Digipak
Round Trip
$13.09 Henry Threadgill has, in the framework of abstract music, been a stalwart, spontaneous composer whose personal sound is near impossible to identify, or certainly codify. A listener who enjoys very challenged music would have difficulty in discerning what is made up or written out. The elusive nature of Threadgill's kind of progressive jazz has to confound even those most oriented to his quirky ...
