Highlights of the show:

Latin Soul dedicated a set to Dave Pike and his album ‘Manhattan Latin’ tonight. A regularly played album in the show, it was about time to bring it up to the front and having it reviewed. Next, you may find a review by Jason Ankeny, obtained at www.cduniverse.com.





Manhattan Latin captures Dave Pike in flux between the straight-ahead approach of his earlier sessions and the psychedelic pop-jazz of his efforts for MPS: a playful yet methodical immersion into pure, sunkissed groove, its artful assimilation of global rhythms and textures anticipates the direction of Pike's most memorable work. Recorded with an impressive lineup including flautist Hubert Laws, drummer Willie Bobo and then-unknown pianist Chick Corea, the album largely eschews familiar Latin standards in favor of Pike originals. What's impressive is that the end result seems completely organic, living up to the album's title in terms of both sophistication and flavor. Phenomenal cover, too. ~ Jason Ankeny, at cduniverse.com.
