Highlights of the show:

Latin Soul presented a new album release today. Mark Weinstein has a new album out to enjoy. “El Cumbanchero” was offered two tunes back to back today as a sample of the perfect blend of Latin and jazz music. Next, you can read a review on this album.




One year after release of ‘Brazil’, Mark Weinstein presents ‘El Cumbanchero’. If in ‘Brazil’, Mr. Weinstein went over sounds reminiscent to Brazil and doing takes on Tom Jobim’s compositions, in ‘El Cumbanchero’ Mr. Weinstein goes deeply on inspiration by Cuban musical school. His expertise on flute makes this one a wonderful collection where the sound of this instrument blends to perfection with the rest of the ensemble of percussion and brass. Overall, here you may find a collection of tunes that have a relaxing effect on the listener. The outcome is a good sample of Latin jazz with a great approach to the sounds of Cuban traditional “vieja trova”. Tunes keep a melodious and percussive structure giving way to Mr. Weinstein flute solos which involve the listener in a long almost wonderfully minimalistic tune pretty much every theme of the album. The blend of jazz and Latin came to a perfect state in this album.
