- Bio:
- The Tune "On The Edge' is hard-charging, steamy hard bop of the Blue Note variety-swell writing by trumpeter Mike Plog. "Heat Included" sounds like a West Coast style Cal Tjader or Poncho Sanchez groove. "Safari" remains as exotic, catchy and evocative as when hard bop saint Horace Silver first recorded the tune. And when it morphs into a Salsa beat showcase, four minutes into the piece, the transition is seamless and soulful - no doubt the cosmopolitan Mr. Silver would approve. Milwaukee native Brian Lynch is a perfect guest star for this project, given his top-flight training experiences in both the Latin Jazz and hard bop camps - playing with Eddie Palmieri and Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, respectevly. Lynch has also toured with the venerable Phil Woods, and while Plog's an exellent hornman himself, the intensity and the heat level goes up a few notches when Lynch cuts loose on "Palmier's Mood". No showboat as a leader, Diaz saves his most compelling congero flourishes for the rather relentless closer "Papa Flaco," which also features great splashy work by tap drummer David Bayles. "Papa Flaco" packs the punch of such timeless Dizzy Gillespie - Chano Pozo classics as "A night in Tunisia and "Manteca". Bravo Senor Diaz!
