A rising force in Latin Jazz.......2005-09-08

I've heard nearly all of The Fort Apache Band's albums, and I have to say, this stands out as a favorite of mine... even more than Moliendo Cafe, an album which I thought I'd never stop listening to.

Jerry Gonzalez (who many credit for having coined the term "Latin Jazz") proves that he and The Fort Apache Band deserve credit among the ranks of influential Latin jazz artists. The entire album is great, but some standout tracks would be Earthdance, Nightfall, and a near-genius rendition of Thelonius Monk's Let's Call This.

If you've never heard Jerry Gonzalez & The Fort Apache Band before, then this would be a great place to start, followed by Moliendo Cafe. You definitely won't regret checking them out.

the finest latin jazz.......2003-05-05

Jerry Gonzalez and Fort Apache legacy is unique in Latin Jazz.
The first deep real accomplished fusion between Rumba and Bee Bop.
Im a unconditional fan of the Band for that reason.
Earthdance is my favorite even "Rumba para Monk" is the best known. "Ya yo me cure" is more roots but very interesting too.
Interaction Solos of Carter Jefferson on tenor and Joe Ford on Alto, in "lets call this" and "81" tunes, are way far the best solos they ever recorded in studio. Jefferson was something...
This CD is a master piece of Latin Jazz, even the recording could have been better. Don't hesitate if you like Latin Jazz, buy it!

Sincerely

Recommended for fans of straight-ahead jazz/latin jazz.......2000-09-18

Jerry Gonzalez (trumpet/flugelhorn/congas), Andy Gonzalez (bass) and Steve Berrios (drums) have recorded and toured with just about everyone in the Latin Jazz universe--Mongo Santamaria, Dizzy Gillespie, Ray Barretto and Eddie Palmieri. The group, which also includes Larry Willis (piano), Carter Jefferson (Tenor Sax) and Joe Ford (alto/soprano sax), can play jazz or Afro-Cuban rhythms with equal comfort. Anyone who has seen Jerry Gonzalez and the Fort Apache Band live has, most likely, heard some of the selections on Earthdance. The Wayne Shorter composition "Fe-Fi Fo Fum", Ron Carter's "81", Thelonius Monk's "Let's Call This": at least one of these is usually included in a typical set. From the opening notes of "Nightfall", the influence of Miles Davis is clear in Jerry Gonzalez's muted trumpet. Thelonius Monk's "Let's Call This" sounds made for a "3 on 2", clave, latin feel. It's my favorite on the album, followed closely by "81". Jerry Gonzalez's conga drums seem buried in the mix, as does Andy Gonzalez's bass. The recording is a bit muddy, sounding at times as if it were recorded through microphones enclosed in cellophane. Nonetheless, this is the Fort Apache Band in fine form. Well worth a listen.

Album Description

Jimi McRae is taking the bagpipe to a new level with his latest production, Earthdance. All the tracks are new compositions using Highland, Lowland, Arabic and Electronic pipes. There is little to compare with traditional piping, the main influences coming from jazz, funk and rock, with an Arabic feel on some tracks. Jimi has set out to bring bagpipe music to a wider audience and break away from the rigid framework that popular Highland music seems to have. Tim Woodhall

Jimi Rocks!.......2005-02-09

This isn't your father's bagpipes! Jimi McRae makes the pipes rock & roll like you've never seen or heard before. If you HATE bagpipes, you would still enjoy the rockin melodies that spring from Jimi's various types of pipes. It must be heard to be believed.

Earthdance.......2004-02-17

Earthdance is an amazing CD and what a difference when you go electric with the bagpipes. It will give you a new and unique perspective for what is possible with the pipes! I highly recommend it for anyone that loves the bagpipes!
