"This is what the next chapter in the merger of jazz and Latin music sounds like."
- Bob Blumenthal BOSTON GLOBE

"Fresh Latin jazz worthy of its name and not just Latinized jazz." -LATIN BEAT


"Utililizing a stellar cast of musicians, authentic instruments and unique arrangements, the Peruvian-born guitarist stirs up a percolating pot of rhythms...It's an often challenging work which takes the oft-combined Latin and jazz areas to the next plane." JAZZ TIMES

"An engaging debut that puts yet another twist on the ever-evolving Latin jazz movement...an album of musical depth and aural delights." JAZZIZ

"Zellon has opened up to jazz a cultural tradition that has been largely overlooked on this side of the equator." CD REVIEW

"Zellon's composing and arranging skills are impressive throughout the album...based on Latin rhythms-from the familiar tango to the more exotic Afro-Peruvian festejo and lando...Its blend of jazz and Latin idioms is organic and original." THE ORLANDO SENTINEL
