Great concert last week by the trumpeter/conguero/flugelhorn player at Blue Note Jazz Club. It was Latin Jazz at its best. I miss the personalities of New Orleans musicians; men who would have probably doffed Mr. Gonzalez’s fedora and used it to fan themselves or to collect the saliva drip from their mouthpieces. I miss that rapture…but the sui generis sound of Gonzalez and his band is equally as passionate.
