| With Jane's passionate soprano sax and flute (she's won numerous TDWR polls on both) weaving through the hypnotic rhythms laid down by her Cuban compatriots, this sextet is HOT! Jane's connection to Cuba is authentic, as shown in the acclaimed full-length documentary Spirits of Havana, shot in Cuba by the National Film Board of Canada, and now available on DVD. Following back-to-back GRAMMY nominations for Best Latin Jazz CD for her Blue Note recordings Alma de Santiago and Cuban Odyssey (which also won the Jazz Journalists Association Award), Jane's Narada CD Red Dragonfly featured the Penderecki String Quartet and covered folk music from around the world, and her latest, the Cajun-flavored Blue Note CD RADIO GUANTANAMO features New Orleans legend Jumpin' Johnny Sansone. This band loves to tour and is one of the real bargains out there. If you want to get your audiences "movin' and groovin' " and still challenge them musically, call me. |
