Back by popular demand - the exhilarating music of veteran Latin Jazz percussionist Edgardo Cintron and his band Azuca. Cintron began playing at age 12 with Los Tropicales, and from there went on to collaborate with some of the biggest names in Latin music. He formed Tiempo Noventa Orchestra in 1988, and later Cintron, a 17-piece 'high octane' band of musicians with six albums to their credit, including the Grammy-nominated "Latin Cool's Hit Men" (2003). Cintron’s infectious and crowd-pleasing style has wowed audiences at jazz festivals nationwide. As critic David Wasserman writes, "Cintron's ability to inject rhythm-and-blues song styling into classics makes for a breathtaking trip." Graphics hhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?

REVIEWS Singer: Edgardo To. Cintron & The Azuca band Album: From Fathers To Sons… Date: 26/02/2007Of Puerto Rican origin the percussionista Edgardo Cintron gia' was known like Director of the Orchestra “Tiempo Noventa”. With this new formation, based in New Jersey, Edgardo introduces a cd of Latin jazz (with dance accents) ripresentando important “standards” of the past. Beginning from the Latin/sauce “Azuca” it is continued with chacha “the Guantanamera” that e' occasion for a musical homage to the “Reina” Celia Cruz: emphasized the fresh and innovative agreement e' from the bugle of Angel Velez and sax of Bill the Murray. “To train” famous brano jazz of the pianista Bill Strayhorns (here to the plan e' David Colon), two beautiful Latin/sauce (by now the most famous “Bilongo” and “China-Tumbao y bongo”), “Ojos verdes, “Picadillo”, “Cochero”, the bolero - composed from Willie Murray -” Family' and still a brano of Latin jazz: “To night in Tunisia” classic of Dizzy Gillespie; in order to close with two Guajira: “Vamonos Guajira” (beautiful the assoli of bugle!) and “Vamonos pal mount” that closes the album of the duration total of an hour. This cd - arranged and interpreted in the tradition “old school” of the Big band of Puente, Palmieri and Barretto he is ascoltabile on biographical ulterior www.vinilemania.net that filler also info. The brani sing to you very are intrepretati from the voice of the solista David Colon. Edited by: Roberto Rabbi. “He returns behindcourtesy www.allaboutjazz.com By Elliott SimonAmong the top working timbaleros on the Latin/jazz scene, Edgardo Cintron has joined with his Azuca Band to release a CD that exquisitely merges the two musics while remaining true to the soul of both traditions. From Fathers to Sons: Old School Clave packs plenty of punch with an eleven-piece orchestra that swings as well as salsas, and features a rhythm section that doesn’t let up. A mix of ballads, standards and exceedingly danceable salsa, the session is heavy on the latter. The festive opener, “Azuca,” sets an immediate tone of precise and complex Latin rhythms, combined with David Colon’s jazzier piano work. Trumpeter Angel Velez plays a commanding horn throughout and shines on the more traditional cuts, such as “China/Tumbao Y Bongo,” the sweet “Cochero” and the dual closers “Vamonos Guajira” and “Vamonos Pal Monte.” The oft-presented “Ojos Verdes” is given a touching ballad treatment here with appropriately demure muted trumpet and delicious vocals. Strayhorn’s “A Train” flys off the tracks to Puerto Rico and then spends “A Night in Tunisia,” where Dizzy’s classic is made even worldlier with a fresh infusion of Latin rhythm. Salsa rules on the fiery “Bilongo.” “Family,” the session’s thematic piece, is an achingly smooth paean to past, present and future. Based in New Jersey, Cintron and the Azuca Band are well known among fans of the Cape May Jazz Festivals and for their multiple appearances at Connecticut’s Mohegan Sun Casino. With this release they show they are up to the standards of the top Latin/jazz bands in the country. In the tradition of Puente, Palmieri and Barretto, Cintron doesn’t sacrifice the rhythm while giving his musicians plenty of room to solo and explore. more reviewsContact UsEdgardo A Cintron P.O.BOX 2754 WILLINGBORO N.J.
