Dr. Ed Calle

Quotes

“To classify this music as Latin Jazz is like saying the Parthenon is Greek Architecture. It's true, but ignores the scope, dimension, and brilliance of the artifact. There is no dead air in the arrangements, no sitting around waiting to get to the good parts. Calle is in the top tier of saxophonist.”

"Stunning big band music. This is a musical work of art. The sound is big and phat. It definitely showcases all the
musical participants. I give it my own 100%, all the tracks are great! You should have it in your collection."

“This is one of the most consistently pleasing albums I've heard in a long time. Every one of its couple dozen or so cuts is a winner. With Dr. Ed Calle’s hand-picked big band of outstanding musicians and soloists, it's not hard to think of Dr. Calle as the Duke Ellington of Latin Jazz.”
