Title: Awesome CD from a non-jazz fan.....
Review: I'm not a huge jazz fan. I own almost none and don't go out of my way to listen. So when my brother gave me this CD I was surprised at how quickly I came to love it.I know absolutely nothing about Chucho but apparently he is one of the "heavy hitters" of jazz. Most of songs are piano driven and there is a great mix of slow smooth songs and frantic piano playing. Some of the songs sound like salsa and none are ever boring which is usually the problem for me with jazz. There is some singing but it's mostly instrumental.I would recommend this CD to the non-jazz fan looking for something different. This CD is great anywhere and also makes good background music. It's the type of thing you might hear and enjoy (but not recognize) in a coffee house or bookstore.Bottom Line: A good intro and some serious genre transcending jazz.
