Review: Jonathan Powell's Mambo Jazz Party is an electrifying blend of Latin and modern electric jazz that draws from his 20 years of experience playing with legends like Eddie Palmieri and Tito Puente Jr.. It finds Powell assembling an 18-piece ensemble to bring the infectious rhythms of mambo to life and mix traditional Latin jazz with influences from electric pioneers like Chick Corea and Weather Report. He adds in layers of tabla textures and crossover jazz harmonies across a series of both original compositions and reimagined classics. Mambo Jazz Party captures the essence of joyous, groove-driven music and creates an irresistible party atmosphere throughout.
