Title: Truly Exciting
Product review: Having been soured on the genre by some Ottmar Liebert CDs, I did not look forward to auditioning another nuevo flamenco recording with any enthusiasm, but Calima proved to be a truly exciting musical discovery that I want to recommend with as much enthusiasm that this energetic recording deserves, which is mucho indeed! Guitarist Núñez is joined at various times by bassist John Patitucci, pianist Danilo Pérez, and percussionist Arto Tuncboyaciyan, with Carmen Cortés providing energetic handclaps. Guitarists Strunz and Farah also join Núñez on one of the cuts. All of the music is by Núñez, and it's all good. The title cut is outstanding, worth buying the CD for right there--and there's not a dull moment on the whole CD. To make Calima even more recommendable, the recording quality is excellent--dynamic and well-balanced.
