Yours truely (Hector Aviles) with Pepe Espinosa in 2009 when Pepe visited Seattle with the Afro Cuban All Stars.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nVariety of Music Styles<\/strong> – Alberto reaches into the deep bag of Latin music genres to provide Latin Jazz several Afro Cuban genres like cha cha, danz\u00f3n, montuno, bolero, and others.<\/li>\nExcellent Musicianship<\/strong> – each of the musicians that participate in “Elemental” have a chance to showcase their talent. The sax of Paul Vornhagen in “Jesus Maria”, the flute of Russ Miller in the nice danzon “Elizabeth”, the piano of Wesley in “La Bicicleta” and throughout the album, the trombone of Chris Smith, Paul Finkbeiner on trumpet, and Pepe and Javier Barrios on percussion. Alberto Nacif almost relegates himself to a supporting role, but his “tumbao” in congas and occasional flirt with the bata drums are heard through “Elemental”.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nSuggestions on “Elemental”<\/h3>\n\n- \n
