Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
You Are #6 is the second album from the eclectic clarinettist Don Byron and his pioneering group, Music For Six Musicians. Since the mid 1990s they have navigated the musical waters of New York and Latin America with ease. You Are #6 features the latest additions to the ensemble; the elegant trumpeter James Zollar from the Ellington Orchestra, Puerto Rican pianist Edsel Gomez, bassist Leo Traversa, drummer Ben Wittman and master conguero Milton Cordona. Byron and his crew are augmented by horns, guitars, and vocals as they deliver their Big Apple-seasoned Pan-Caribbean take on jazz. With the clarinettist's full-bodied tones leading the way, they put a new Santeria-syncopated spin on Henry Mancini's "Theme From Hatari" and provide the right Afro-Cuban clave touches on "You Are #6.5" and the rumba workout "Whisper in My Ear (for Mario Bauza)". "Klang" and "Belmondo's Lip" (which also features an ambient trip-hop remix by DJ Spooky) bounce with a snappy jazz 'n' samba swing. Byron's bass playing father, Don Sr, steals the show and lays down a mean West Indian groove on the calypso classic, "Shake 'Em Up". Save for "No Whine", a haunting piano/clarinet duo, Don Byron's stateside take on the Latin tinge reveals one more layer to his magnificent and multifaceted musical outlook. --Eugene Holley, Jr
