The bliss of Latin jazz, permeated with lyricism that suits the night.
Jazz bassist Charlie Haden released this Latin jazz album in 2001, performing with Cuban pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba and others. It presents a tranquil world of performance with the mood of bolero and nocturne.
This work is based on a tranquil tone reminiscent of a nighttime scene, with Haden's bass providing a soft underpinning. Gonzalo Rubalcaba's key piano provides a natural fusion of jazz and Latin rhythms. The vocals are understated, and the performance is understated, yet every note carries meaning. The recording possesses a precision close to that of chamber music, while the rhythm section resonates firmly and groundedly. The piece has a gentle, bolero-like sway, incorporating elements of improvisation while maintaining a sense of stability. Within the Latin jazz genre, this work transcends genre boundaries and firmly establishes itself as "music to accompany the night," appealing to a wide range of listeners, not just jazz enthusiasts.
