Best known for his work with Ron Carter’s trio, pianist Donald Vega leads a formidable team of Lewis Nash/dr, John Patitucci/b and Luisitio Quintero/perc through a collection of originals. His signature classy style is in display well on “Alegria” and “Beautiful Ladies” and shows his ability to turn on the heat on a sizzling “Baila/Dance Like No One’s Watching”. Quintero’s percussion adds extra flavor to the more Latin tones of “Durstubios” and the Afro Cuban “Dear Mayra” and Patitucci locks in perfectly with Nash’s cymbals on “As I Travel” . A sideman well out in front in style.
