About The Monks
CD (Zoho 200502), Released 2005;
Editor's Pick:
Here's the record a lot of the improvising Latin world has been
waiting for. Prieto, the young Cuban drummer, has been inciting
plenty of attention since he moved to New York several years ago.
He's taken a bunch of high-level jobs, and About the Monks shows
why: Prieto is gifted. His drumming is light and forceful. He's
exceptionally interactive, talking back to the soloists. At first
it's hard to hear what he's doing because he's doing so much—check
out the solo around a piano and bass tumbao on "Ironico Arlequin,"
where he pushes and pulls against the time. He's joined by Brian
Lynch on trumpet, his old band mate Yosvany Terry on saxophone, Luis
Perdomo, on piano and Hans Glawischnig on bass. All the writing's by
Prieto and it's often stunning, based in 70s fusion, but sounding
like a real step away from those antecedents. Here's the real deal.
Highly Recommended. (Peter Watrous, 2005-01-29)
