Mitch Frohmann’s “From Daddy with Love” is a wonderful ly enjoyable Latin Jazz album that at times it’s hard to believe it’s played only by a quartet.<\/p>\n
The music is rich, warm, and Mitch makes it sound as if he were in your living room playing for you.<\/p>\n
Mitch played 25 years in Tito Puente’s orchestra, and that influence comes through in some of the songs. He also worked with the great Cuban percussionist\u00a0Mongo Santamaria<\/a>. More recently, he has been a member of the Mambo Legends Orchestra<\/a>, the Spanish Harlem Orchestra, and the Bronx Horns.<\/p>\n “From Daddy with Love” is a double-CD album that contains 13 songs. The Mitch Frohmann Quartet is composed of Mitch in baritone, tenor, and soprano saxophones as well as on flute, Zaccai Curtis on piano, Luques Curtis on acoustic bass, and Joel Mateo on drums. The recording includes guests John “Dandy” Rodriguez in congas, bongo, bell, and guiro; singer Jorge Maldonado (in the title song “From Daddy with Love”), and Denice Frohmann in spoken word (“Accents con Ritmo”).<\/p>\n Musicality<\/strong> – I loved the musicality of the songs in this album. The music flows easily and the arrangements for the quartet hit the mark. The cohesiveness of the quartet shines through.<\/p>\nWhat I Liked About “From Daddy with Love”<\/h3>\n
