A fiery saxophone cuts through the sky, rapturous Latin jazz
This piece resonates soulful Latin motifs and improvised intonations against the backdrop of the raw energy of live music.
It combines the tension and sense of release that only a live recording can offer. Gato Barbieri's saxophone screams passionately, yet he skillfully manipulates melody and breathing. Latin rhythms and percussion at times leap like flickering flames, while moments of silence and space enhance the sound. Improvisational choices and constructions intertwine, and the performance is filled with both uncertainty and confidence. This album powerfully illuminates the intersection between Latin jazz and improvisational expression.
