Pianist
Nachito Herrera and his versatile ensemble explore a wide variety of Latin music on this continually colorful set,
Bembé en Mi Casa. The majority of the selections are Afro-Cuban jazz with a few of the numbers being vocal salsa pieces. Modern jazz is not neglected, nor is the traditional sound of Cuban music of the '50s; all of it contains rich melodies and has the feel of a memorable party. While there are many highlights,
Herrera's showcase on the solo piano piece "Capullito de Aleli" takes honors. Recommended to any listeners interested in spirited Latin music. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
