Típico

"Tipico (...) finds Zenón delivering one of his most sophisticated collections yet of kinetic, genre-bending post-bop ... Ultimately, it's that voice, and Zenón's ability to so immediately convey who he is within this group, that make Tipico such an engaging listen".

"The saying "like butta" comes to mind when listening to the alto of saxophonist Miguel Zenon. His tone has the consistency of velvety cream, with nary a sour note. Hearing him in the context of his long-standing quartet, we get something like the voguish bulletproof coffee, which consists of butter, whipped into your favorite cup of joe. Such is Tipico, a graceful outing with a caffeinated blast".

"The title is a play on a word usually used to describe folkloric genres, but in this case refers to the sound of the quartet as a sort of culture in and of itself. "Typical" can also means "everyday," though, and some of the material here doesn't rise above that, a disappointment made more poignant by how compelling much of it is".
