Bobby Matos - Made By Hand

This CD was produced from an unplanned and unannounced live recording. Although the band was unaware of being recorded, the natural communication between musicians and high level of performance energy was clearly captured. Jazz Latino, Mambo, Bembe, and Son Montuno represents healing energy, meditation and medicine encoded as music. Yoga as sound. When musicians listen and communicate with each other and their audience on a spiritual level, the music becomes much more than a performance. 'Made By Hand' features Frank Fontaine -Tenor Sax, soprano sax, & flute; Michael James Turre -baritone,alto sax, & flute; Victor Cegarra-piano;Eliseo Borrero -bass & vocals; Robertito Melendez-congas; Jacques Voyemant-trombone;Jud Matos-percussion;Denise Cook-coro; Ismael Carlo-coro & spoken word; Rogelio Mitchell-coro; and Bobby on timbales. Mambo, Bembe, and Jazz Latino represent healing energy, meditation, and medicine encoded as music. When musicians listen and communicate with each other and their audience on this spiritual level, the music becomes much more than a performance.
