COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Jazz Variety Pack submitted by Meginator on June 10, 2023, 9:12am This inventive and exciting album showcases the Latin Jazz Orchestra’s huge range, and they tackle everything from big band to Latin jazz to hip-hop with panache. Each of these tracks offers something unique, with welcome surprises around every corner, and the large ensemble brings fullness and flair to everything they play. I loved the variety and the sense of surprise throughout the album, with every track having something distinct to recommend it while they all come together as a coherent unit. This is an expansive love letter to jazz of all kinds and I absolutely loved it.
