WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID ABOUT THIS CD: |
"I love what you did with ‘Wonderful Discovery.’ The solos are terrific, the songs are great. What I love is the feeling of the old Machito Band--all those rhythms and the fact there is so much melody. And you got the right musicians to play the music." |
Dr. Billy Taylor, Pianist, composer, author, educator NEA Jazz Master |
|
"Give great musicians Gene Marlow’s challenging and rewarding material--and the lucky listener is in for a truly ‘Wonderful Discovery!" |

"Wonderful Discovery’ is a joyful exploration of Latin-Jazz within the sturdy framework of Dr. Marlow's compositions and arrangements which convey a rich variety of moods while achieving both idiomatic veracity and distinction within the genre. The all-star cast rises to the occasion with fiery solo work and impeccable, swinging ensemble playing." |
