Bill O'Connell - Latin Jazz Fantasy [CD]

Jazz pianist Bill O'Connell has established a well-earned reputation as an innovative composer of jazz and Latin jazz, along with being a veteran working musician. Features long-time associate Dave Valentin on flutes, Bobby Maloch on tenor sax, bassists Charles Fambrough, David Fink and Lincoln Goines, along with drummers and percussionists Steve Barrios, Milton Cardona and Kim Plainfield. With Latin jazz fantasy, O'Connell pulls out all the stops and has created a compelling tour de force, composing songs for small groups and large orchestra with a full string and horn section. It's not only big, but it churns, bubbles and rocks.
