El Puente (The Bridge)
CD (Steve Pouchie 22293), Released 2010

Editor's Pick:

Latin jazz, recorded in the Bronx, NY. Steve Pouchie brings us vibes-based, danceable, old-school Latin jazz reminiscent of Tito Puente and Cal Tjader. Surrounded by some of New Yorks best players like Little Johnny Rivero on congas, Pete Nater on trumpet, flautist Andrea Brachfeld, pianist Adan Pérez, Ivan Renta on sax and many others, Pouchie conjures the essence of yesterdays dancehalls like the Palladium. "Journey Into Outland," "Picadillo," "Green Dolphin Street," "Naomi's Fantasy" ...all top tracks. Highly Recommended. (BP, 2010-04-04)
