Three sax legends--Liebman, Braden, and Moretti--ignite a high-energy, Latin-jazz session inspired by Elvin Jones' 'Genesis'.

Latin Genesis is an exhilarating exploration of Latin-jazz inspired by the legendary 1972 album 'Genesis' by Elvin Jones. This album brings together three powerhouse saxophonists--Dave Liebman, Don Braden, and Dan Moretti--each contributing their distinct voice to a collaborative project that pays homage to jazz tradition while infusing it with vibrant Latin rhythms. Liebman, known for his mastery of both tenor and soprano sax, along with Braden and Moretti, who also incorporate flute, alto flute, and bass clarinet, take listeners on a musical journey that is both dynamic and soulful.The album is driven by a top-tier rhythm section featuring bassist Oscar Stagnaro, drummer Mark Walker, and percussionists Pernell Saturnino, Jorge Najaro, and Rick Andrade on talking drum. The combination of these seasoned musicians creates a rhythmic foundation that fuels the album's raw energy and propulsive grooves.With compositions like 'Vail Jumpers,' 'Have You Met Miss Jones,' and 'Three Card Molly,' *Latin Genesis* shifts seamlessly between high-octane improvisation and more introspective moments. Tracks like 'Cecilia Is Love' and 'Tiara' further showcase the group's ability to blend melodic sensitivity with rhythmic complexity.Each performance is marked by spontaneous interplay and a sense of camaraderie, resulting in a fresh take on Latin-jazz that feels both timeless and innovative. Whether you're a jazz aficionado or new to the genre, 'Latin Genesis' delivers a captivating listening experience filled with passionate performances and infectious rhythms.
