Playing trumpet and flugelhorn, Rachel Therrien mixes and matches with a rotating rhythm section, with Michel Medrano Brindis’ drumming staying as the one consistent inthis sizzling collection. Her trumpet is fluid on her percolating “The Wizard” and sizzles over the double timed take of Dizzy Gillespie’s “Con Alma”. The congas percolate on a salsa’d read of “Moment’s Notice” , with John Benitez’s electric bass cruising with pianist Gabriel Chakarji on the modal “Mojo”. Picante pleasures.Rachel Therrien Latin Jazz Project: Mi Hogar
