"LATIN JAZZ NETWORK" INTERVIEWS LUIS MUNOZ


"Of Soul and Shadow" is a beautiful, passionate recording in which the fusion of the most diverse musical elements is more evident than in previous releases. Luis continues to grow in talent and maturity. His music has a distinctive sensibility rooted in ancient Pan-American rhythms, but enriched with modern, contemporary expressions.

TWO MUSIC RECOMMENDATIONS



Two wonderful CDs highly recommended: A Greatest Hits collection by Soul/R & B singer Donny Hathaway ( including some of his work with Roberta Flack), and "Ojos Negros", by Argentinian bandoneon player Dino Saluzzi in collaboration with cellist Anja Lechner ( from the the Munich-based Rosamunde Quartett ).
