Miguel Zenón

Jazz Album Review: Miguel Zenón’s “Música de las Américas” — A Buoyant Musical Adventure

The saxophonist has the slithery facility of a bebopper, but I also hear something of the forthright stance of Coltrane in his playing, despite the rhythmic complexity of his writing — and his distinctively varied use of his Puerto Rican background.

Jazz Album Review: “El Arte del Bolero” — Passionate Homage to the Era of the Bolero
