Paradise
Paradise

In this Puente-esque big-band Latino recording, trumpeter Humberto Ram rez leads a group of some of the most recognizable names in Latin jazz. With a rhythm section composed of percussionists Alex Acu?a and Richie Flores teamed with famed pianist Papo Lucca and veteran bass player Rub?n Rodr guez, the grooves are aggressive and tight. The interplay between Flores’ congas and Lucca’s signature montuno is at times dizzying. The horn arrangements, all penned by Ram rez, swirl and churn like a tropical storm, particularly on the bright, surging Puente tribute “To the King.” There is some inconsistency in both the quality of the arrangements and the sincerity of the performances. The listener will be blown away one moment by the orchestra’s all-out bad-boy funkiness, and underwhelmed the next by an Ovaltine-sipping, horn-rimmed glasses-wearing geeky arrangement. The group sounds razor sharp on one track and ramshackle loose on the next. Inconsistencies notwithstanding, Paradise is a very enjoyable album. There are not many groups today performing Latin jazz with true big-band flavor, and Ram rez’s orchestra has that in spades. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez

Article by Keith MuzikMan Hannaleck
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Christmas Is For Grownups Too
Phoenix, Arizona– October 17, 2005–Trumpeter, pianist, vocalist, and writer Juan Oskar was born and raised in Arizona. While honing his chops in several Latino bands growing up, his love for his roots and rock ‘n’ roll grew. Today Oskar has come around full circle full circle with the new release Christmas Is For Grownups Too.
Oskar’s Influences include Pizzazz & Latino Los Lobos, Selena, John Williams, Tito Puente, Santana, Herb Alpert, Cubanismo, Maynard Ferguson, Julius Wechter, and Leroy Anderson. The challenge for any listener will be to hear all of those influences coming through at any time during the run of each track. In the end, that is what makes this album so much fun. He also offers some vocals in Spanish, rocks out, throws in some Ventures licks here and there, and comes up with something so unique and entertaining that you will be reaching for this CD at any time of the year. He does this consistently in all 24 tracks. Attention grabbing compositions like “Fur Elise” and “Decking The Halls in 1966″ are bound to give lovers of pure and original music a grin from ear to ear.
