Customer Reviews of Nuyorican Nights
Great Latin jazz from a talent-saturated band I first heard about this band when I had band leader and trombone player Chris Washburne as a professor in Columbia. At a powerful live performance, they closed their first set with the sardonic and insidious "Witch's Unveiling." I was instantly hooked.
Nuyorican Nights adequately captures the musical soul of the SYOTOS band, pleasantly surprising avid fans of their awe-insipiring downtown New York live performances. Every song on this album hooks you instantly with a melody, then takes you through a labyrinth of virtuosic musical beauty. Every instrumentalist brings a unique dimension to their sound, led by the always superbly technical, yet always musical and emotional sound of Washburne's trombone. Washburne's supporting cast (though he would be loath to refer to them as such) creates a captivating world of sound, asserting themselves individually and collectively as what amounts to what could only be called a jazz all-star team. Spectacular music from beginning to end.
I originally bought this CD solely for the second track, with its odd mix of atonality, fluidity and wicked wit (Washburne revealed one night at the Nuyorican that the song is loosely "dedicated" to his ex-wife). The listener quickly realizes that the rest of the CD as well is chock full of some of the most unique, diverse and brilliant Latin Jazz ever recorded. A definite must-have for any listener, jazz-enthusiast or not.
Great Latin Jazz
Nuyorican Nights is one of the most enjoyable CDs I've purchased in recent memory. Washburne and the SYOTOS band express a huge range of moods, from happy and energetic to subtle and sensual to wild and frenetic. I can listen to this CD over and over again. It works as nicely textured background music, and also rewards very close listening. If you like Latin jazz, this is a good one!
New York Latin Jazz at its Best
This band plays at the Nuyorican on The Lower East Side of Manhattan, where the musicians go to jam after their gigs. Each member is a brilliant and accomplished jazz musician in his own right - together they absolutely smoke. This one is a must!
