Last October I introduced Roberto Fonseca to you and recommended his great album "Akokan". A great live performer with an overwhelming stage presence, Roberto Fonseca shows a virtuosic, fiery, eclectic, sometimes nearly orchestral approach to the piano. In Ibrahim Ferrer's words: "Boy, can the kid play!" A mixture of Cuban soul and jazz history, Fonseca's piano artistry includes unbelievable high-energy runs on the keyboard, a trace of Monk's angularity and a fine sense for poetic melodies. On his 2007 album "Zamazu" he is assisted by his long-term musical partner Javier Zalba (clarinet, soprano sax, alto sax, flute) and an incredibly flexible Cuban/Brazilian rhythm section.
