A totally amazing bit of modal jazz from the Santo Domingo scene -- maybe the only jazz record we've heard from that city, and a performance that could easily take on some of the best spiritual jazz albums from the US! The group's co-led by pianist Dario Estrella and reedman Mario Rivera -- and you can really feel that strong sense of collaboration -- as Estrella lays out these long, pulsating lines -- while Rivera really takes off on tenor, baritone, and flute! The group's also got a bassist, guitarist, and a lot of percussion -- which makes for rhythms that are extremely powerful, with maybe some slight Latin inflections amidst the more spiritual energy.
