The Jazz Trive / Ray Mantilla & Bobby Watson - everlasting

«It goes without saying that the meeting between Mantilla’s Space Station and Bobby Watson is highly aromatic and lively, despite being a thousand miles away from commonplace entertainment. The general attitude held by the musicians is of great rigor – just listen to how well the funky sortie of bassist Ruben Rodriguez fit, with a rhythmic charge that is lacking in the counterparts of rock. The forerunner of this solar music, it should be remembered, remains Horace Silver, and we can only rejoice that the furrow he traced many years ago still knows how to produce exciting fruits like this Dark Powers.».
