I like it. Very, very Latin but definitely jazz. It's often pretty complex rhythmically, a little bit "outside" but accessible nonetheless. His sidemen are all people I've never heard of but they're all first rate.

Zenon is quite a good alto player. He was out here with the SF Jazz Collective for a time and I got to hear him a few times. He's also a Guggenheim and a MacArthur Fellow and is using his MacArthur grant to explore traditional Puerto Rican song forms.

"Jibaro" is, I think, his first album to go in that direction. The jibaro are the mountain people of Puerto Rico and have a music tradition that harkens back to their Indian roots. His next album is called "Esta Plena", the plena being yet another Puerto Rican musical form. I Like that one too. After that comes "Alma Adentro: The Puerto Rican Songbook" which I have yet to hear.

Mumford & Sons - Sigh No More

My younger son gave me this not long after it came out. It's nice to enjoy some of the same taste in music with my offspring. Surprise, surprise: we have similar political views too.

Regards,

I've been listening to a lot of live Celtic music up here on Cape Breton Island, NS - a very beautiful place.
