Details:
"Aguacero" is performed with a strong jazz background but leaning towards South American rhythms. Mainly Brazilian influences, lyrical playing and yet powerful, stretching solos over well-composed, well-executed compositions. The end result is a great sounding CD that will bring a smile to your face. Usually it does. Unless you don't realy like to smile.
