Latin, the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet's homage to the music of Latin America and Spain, opens weakly with a tune called "Fragile," a bit of melodic fluff composed by Sting. After that's safely out of the way, however, the four virtuosos go on to play much more satisfying works by such composers as Leo Brouwer from Cuba, Astor Piazolla from Argentina, Egberto Gismonti from Brazil, and Joaquin Rodrigo from Spain. The music ranges from the passionate, earthy flamenco of "Sevillanas" to the austere, almost abstract tone poem "Cuban Landscape with Rain" and on to the jazzy harmonies of "Forrobodo." The most exciting piece is the six-movement "Carmen Suite," which the quartet plays with a thrilling blend of passion and precision. But no matter how disparate the music, the impeccable technique, musical intelligence, and emotional delivery of John Dearman, William Kanengiser, Scott Tennant, and Andrew York find the common thread to tie it all together. --Michael Simmons

Best CD since Labyrinth.......2003-06-01

Fantastic. I was very pleased with this CD. The playing was fantastic as expected. However, what I like most is the arrangements. The arrangements are not typical of Classical musicians. No doubt this is because of Andrew York and John Dearman's versatilty in a wide range of musical styles. Also, it doesn't hurt that Bill Kanangiser and Scott Tenant are among the finest Clasical Guitarists in history.

Disappointed.......2003-04-10

I'm a big fan of LAGQ but am somewhat disappointed with this CD. The playing is near flawless as usual, but I was expecting a more interesting selection of Latin pieces. One of the few exceptions on this CD is Aaron Copland's "Danza de Jalisco," which is arranged and performed marvelously by LAGQ. This group puts on some of the best concerts out there, but I find that many of their recordings lack the same excitement. The CD "LAGQ" (1997?) is an exception, with its variety and energetic performances.

Reconsider.......2003-02-15

Probably fine for the guitarist wanting to appreciate some good licks, but not pleasant or soothing music for listening. I gave mine away.

Latin Licks.......2003-01-31

This cd is awesome!!!

No wonder LAGQ: Latin was nominated for a Grammy as Best Classical Crossover Album.

this album rocks.......2002-10-12

the LAGQ again give us some suprise with this recent release. This is the second best version of Carmen Suite (second only to Romero's, but much better than Segovia Quartet's).
The whole album is full of Latin style and spanish favor.

Nolet Frontlines Be-Bop/Latin Violin.......1999-12-25

First of all, "Syzygy" is the best jazz violin record I have ever heard in my life. Nolet is by far the most outstanding Jazz violinist and violist to date! And that's a fact! I saw Nolet at the April 8th, '99 Washington Jazz Church concert in Greenwich Village New York City. It was not only an "awesomely" satisfying concert but I bought the CD "Syzygy" the next day at Tower Records. I saw him with Amiri Baraka, and Joseph Jarman (Art Ensemble of Chicago) at the same venue a couple of years back, which was impressive and modern. "Syzygy" on the other hand, frontlines Be-Bop/Latin Violin with a mainstream flavor.

Nolet's playing on Coltrane's countdown as a violin/viola would make John Coltrane proud. I was thoroughly stunned that I violin could even do that. This CD is half standards and half originals, and begins with a latin-jazz version of Stanley Turrentine's "Shirley", showing Nolet's obvious mastery of the Latin Jazz idiom. Following Shirley is a sweet, cool, beautiful ballad; Nolet's arrangement of Coltrane's "Central Park West". Nolet sets off with his viola's deep lush overtones blending with brushes and vibraphone. His bowing breathes in alliance with the ensemble with some very tastey soloing. On "Syzygy" Nolet's compositional prowess shines throughout, featuring another latin jazz overture entitled "Sshh...Escuche", showing off Nolet's rhythmic virtuosity with a sweet charanga section. The title track "Syzygy" takes the modal route, with flashy but smooth trumpet/viola arrangements, and a Miles Davis influenced solo by Nolet, also featuring the virtuosity of "Blue Note" artist: Tim Hagans on trumpet. Pianist Arturo O'Farrill (Milestone)flashes his talent and experience throughout as well, no holds barred, and on Nolet's original: (beautifully sweet and bluesy) "Tycoon", Arturo plays in a flavor remniscent of McCoy Tyner and Bill Evans. A swingy, solid and witful "Mr. Rodrique" highlights flashy interplay between vibraphonist; Bryan Carrott, and Nolet's beautifully melodic violin. Jim Nolet rounds off the CD with a bouncy, samba-like version of Duke Ellington's "Angelica". Nolet flavors this piece with exceptional flair but keep's a soft light romantic touch.

Overall, Nolet's choice of instrumentation and arrangements is superb. The ensemble, obviously New York's finest musicians, give good compliment and support to Nolet, as there couldn't be a more perfect unit. There is no schtick on this CD folks---just straight-forward Jazz.

Nolet's first solo release which featured "David Murray" was an amazing CD also, but "Syzygy" is fresh and of today. It is easy to listen to, engaging, enjoyable, and most of all "cooooool". The problem I have with Nolet is: I want to hear more, that is, I can't wait for his next release!

A hidden treasure.......2006-02-28

If by any chance you have found yourself looking at this CD buy it!! This CD starts off with Wagon christ doing a trance beat and leads into some of the most beautiful sounds I've ever heard from earth leakage trip (track 2) and Bedouin ascent (track 3). Track 4 was badly placed with Syzgy doing loud tribal drums that wake you from the last 3 but its still good. Track five is IRRESISTIBLE FORCE--If you love them as I do stop reading and just buy this CD--Track 6 is Air Liquide. Track 7-9 keep pace with odd sounds.
