Omar Sosa - Ollú

Travel around the world with Omar. From New Orleans with perfect jazz containment, to the rhythms of Africa, the horns of Cuba, all the towerofpower bass playing stylistics. Rhythm changes make for sincere dance balancing for dramatic breathing excercises. The vocals pull at my soul and bring to mind Joe Henderson and friends taking over the fault lines in California. Omar bings my thoughts to a full comprehension of why music has power in my life. I am often aware that others do not enjoy this happiness. Omar allows all members of his band to stretch and contribute. Beauty in listening close to each other so the fresh improvisation sound purely realized. Shoutouts for the understated D'Son, the dance rhythms of Tres Negros, and the authoritative introspection of Why Angá. Omar Sosa
