Ermelinda Cuellar: What A Difference A Day Made KARI

Vocalist Ermelinda Cuellar draws you in with her warm and subtle charms on a mix of standards, originals and Latin love affairs with Gilbert Sedeno/p, Greg Petito/g, Anthony Caceres/b, Andre Hayward/tb, Marlon Simon/dr and Anibal Ambert/perc. She’s inviting with nylon string support on the clear “Sabor A Mi” and the suave “Angelitos Negros” and gets bel canto on “Historia De Un Amor”. The team does a clever read of adding salsa to a percolating “Alone Together” and the burning title tune, while Hayward is bluesy on “Al Mal Tiempo, Buena Cara”. Cuellar shows her bop chops as she scats on “I Could Have Danced All Night” while seducing you with the slow and strong “Man With A Horn”. 50 ways to find your lover.
