The Latin jazz project

"When last heard from, the salsa powerhouse Spanish Harlem Orchestra was celebrating fifteen years of playing together with Anniversary (ArtistShare, 2018). There have always been elements of Latin jazz in the group's music, and Artistic Director Oscar Hernandez is a noted Latin jazz pianist, so it was only a matter of time until they presented a full program of it. In addition to his arrangements, Hernández contributed several compositions, and is a prominent soloist ... another excellent outing from the Spanish Harlem Orchestra".

"Despite Spanish Harlem Orchestra considering this its first full-length Latin-jazz recording, those who love the ensemble's intoxicating blend of Afro-Latin rhythms, bright melodies and multihued harmonies won't find The Latin Jazz Project to be a grand departure from the band's past ... From start to finish, Spanish Harlem Orchestra flaunts its jazz bona fides without dismissing its statement of purpose".
