(Jazz, Latin Jazz, Bossa Nova) Bob Kindred Quartet - Nights Of Boleros And Blues - 2007, MP3, 320 kbps

Bob Kindred is a great tenor sax player who is consistently underrated and underexposed. Aside from some CDs released by a small audiophile label Mapleshade, it is not easy to find his leader albums in the market. Mr. Hara of Venus Records wanted to correct this situation and signed Kindred a few years ago and released Blue Moon.
For this second release from Venus, Kindred and co., decided to do a collection of latin music, mostly boleros. The brawny and sexy sound of Kindred's tenor is a perfect match for the mysterious and romantic music. The music transports the listener to a steamy bar in a subtropical country in Latin America. One can almost feel the hot and humid air.
The supporting musicians are all first rate. Without playing a lot of notes, they would certainly impress an astute listener with their impeccable taste.
Recorded at "The Studio" in New York in August 2006 by Katherine Miller. Mixed and mastered by Venus 24-bit Hyper Magnum Sound.
