| " You've got to hand it to these musicians for not cluttering up their new album with what might be mediocre originals in choosing the music for this performance. The compositions, whether originating from Latin, rock, or jazz sources, do the job and keep the concert tuneful and lively. " Michael P. Gladstone all.about.jazz " . . . DeLaney and Viavattine are outstanding on this beautifully recorded live concert." Ed Trefzger, Jazzweek.com |
| " . . . this Latin jazz combo really nails the genre. The tunes are a good mix of standards and three originals by DeLaney. Saxophonist Viavattine deserves applause for knowing how to play a muscular tenor sax ; his work on Softly, Five Kings and Afro Blue displays sure-footed work that harkens back to pre-Sheets Of Sound Coltrane. DeLaney shows a consistent knowledge of pianistics in salsa/Latin jazz and his arrangements convey the right touch. Percussionists Colon and Antonetti provide the fire engine that drives the band." |

| "One of Rochester's fine bands performs a range of originals, a few standards (including Summertime and My Favorite Things, which have become jazz evergreens); and a trio of tunes from famed jazz repertoires, Chick Corea's Armando's Rumba, Miles Davis' Seven Steps To Heaven and Cedar Walton's N.P.S. The "mambo" aspects of the band come from a first-rate rhythm section -- "Tio" Antonetti and Freddy Colon on various drums, congas, timbales and bongos, and Hector Diaz on bass. . . The musicality of this band is always first-rate, but members are at their best when the music soars over sheer rhythmic joy, as in Tio's Tune and Sunny." |
