Trumpeter Diego Urcola put together something truly special for 2006's VIVA. A standard session featuring Urcola's bright, bold horn sound and formidable chops would be reason enough to celebrate, but the all-star team of sidemen the artist rounded up is an added bonus. Saxophonist/clarinetist Paquito D'Rivera, sax man Jimmy Heath, bassist Avishai Cohen, and vibes/marimba player Dave Samuels are among the luminaries on board here, and the group holds forth on the Latin-inflected numbers and the straight-ahead swing. Packed with superior playing and lively, percolating energy, VIVA is one of the best Latin jazz bets of 2006.
Personnel: Diego Urcola (trumpet); Paquito D'Rivera (clarinet, saxophone); Jimmy Heath (saxophone); Conrad Herwig (trombone); Edward Simon (piano); Avishai Cohen (upright bass); Antonio Sanchez (drums); Pernell Saturnino (percussion).
Recording information: 2005.
Down Beat (p.82) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Urcola's obviously learned a few things listening to Davis, his style indicates a patience with the material, and he's a friend of nuance." Viva Review

| | Conrad Herwig Latin Side Of Wayne Shorter CD (2008)
Viva
$14.55 On nearly all his projects, trombonist Conrad Herwig is known for his tasteful arrangements, excellent playing, and keen instinct for top-notch personnel, characteristics he's brought to bear on his Latin treatments of compositions by jazz legends like John Coltrane and Miles Davis. Herwig applies the same standard to his live recording, THE LATIN SIDE OF WAYNE SHORTER, taking on compositions by the great saxophonist, including "Ping Pong," "Adam's Apple," and "Footprints," and infusing them with healthy doses of Brazilian, Afro-Cuban, and other Latin rhythms. Shorter's dynamic tunes provide the perfect backdrop for Herwig's impressive facility for reinvention.
| | Dave Holland Pass It On CD (2008)
Viva
$9.69 Using a sextet, upright bassist Holland sets the bar even higher than on his previous efforts, adding the always tasteful pianist Mulgrew Miller and a four-horn front line that is relentless. The jaunty opening number, "The Sum of All Parts," is a 5/4 African percussion-based piece led by Robin Eubanks with folded-in alto and trumpet and witty counterpoint. Adding a light samba feel during the upbeat "Fast Track" with the horns in perfect unison, the ensemble shifts up to hard bop. A 10/8 choppy and bouncy "Modern Times" also uses Brazilian inferences and sees Antonio Hart switching to soprano. On the soulful side, the title track recalls visions of Horace Silver - a groovy, fun boogaloo that has "radio hit" written all over it, while "Lazy Snake" takes the soul element deep underground and contrasts it with a suggestion of stark surrealism. Then there's the near 14-minute, free-based, diffuse "Rivers Run" (dedicated to Sam Rivers), which features the accented by the bowed bass of Holland, building in intensity as the horns step up the sonic density in darker hues. Of course, this band can easily drive music hard, as on the post-bopper "Equality," which turns sullen and funky, then swings angularly.
Dave Holland: Dave Holland (upright bass); Antonio Hart (alto saxophone); Alex Sipagin (trumpet); Robin Eubanks (trombone); Mulgrew Miller (piano); Eric Harland (drums).
