About “Tango Caliente”
If there is just one word that could describe this CD that would be Musicality.
Jay D’Amico, who for many years was a student of mine studying jazz piano as well as composition and counterpoint, has matured into a superb musical entity in his own right. His writing as well as his playing here is as masterful and profound as it gets.
The musicians performing with him are of the highest order and particularly the marvelous trumpet work of Richie Vitale. This is one of those rare occasions in which a group of musicians through their collective talents, have provided us with a magical and mystical musical experience worthy of much-repeated listening. The depth of the contrapuntal interplay in D’Amicos writing is brilliant and will reveal profound nuances each and every time you listen to it. Bravo gentlemen and thank you for this superb work of art!
