A combination of sambas, fusion, salsa and classic jazz for that soft dinner music atmosphere as well as that dance-til-dawn party; all with a South American/Latin flavor.
Bio / Background
Exploding with rhythm and sound,YAVAZ's debut CD "Sea of Cortez" is a must for Latin-Jazz lovers! The album opens with the sounds of an approaching storm over the sea, preparing the listener for what is to be a flood of salsa, flamenco, Brazilian and jazz-fusion. YAVAZ founders Mark Riddle & Nelson Ortiz enlisted the talents of well-known music industry pals such as Jaime Valle, Tommy Aros (Luis Miguel & Fattburger) and Grammy nominated jazz trumpeter Bruce Cameron. In addition to the original compositions, the CD borrows a couple from the masters, including an incredible rendition of "So What" by the late, great Miles Davis. "Sea of Cortez" is high energy Latin-fusion that invites abandon and calls for a party right in your living room. This CD has sold out at every performance and store it's been sold at. This CD has a unique sound that appeals to everyone from six to sixty, from hard-core jazz enthusiast to the casual listener.
↓ more ↓Here's just some of the reviews:
"YAVAZ can turn an old standard into an in-your-face merengue, a rock tune into a dance-in-your-seat salsa & Miles Davis' melancholy 'So What' into a white-hot mambo."
San Diego Union-Tribune
"YAVAZ captures the sensuality of a summer evening in Spain and the classy atmosphere of a nightclub in Manhattan." The Guardian
"My advice: "Sea of Cortez" is a worthy addition to any Latin Jazz lover's music collection...if you think the CD is good, just wait 'til you see these boys live!!!"
Mirada Magazine
