THE BROOKLYN SOUNDS
Afro-Cuban Jazz • United States
Jazz music community with review and forums
This youthful nine piece latin band was led by trombonist Julio Millan and pianist Tony Ortega. Their sound was very much in the classic salsa vein of a heavy rhythm alongside a tight horn section with soulful vocals. The vocals are in Spanish and the groove is salsa dura.
The band was heavily influenced by the Afro-Cuban sound from Cuba and several of their songs reflect this. This debut LP includes the original recording of classic latin soul number Rain.
With funky and progressive arrangements the band have a swinging descarga (jam session) feel led by the two trombones. The youthfulness and energy of the band comes through loud and clear in their musicianship, their music bursting with fiery solos, hard hitting percussion and soulful vocals. They describe their music as guaguanco, descarga, Santeria, bolero-son etc...
