CD Review

''Rojo Vivo''- Planet Groove
by George Carroll
6-2-04

Hot, Halapeno style, latino jazz... Vocalist Wilson Suarez & The Planet Groove latin group sweeps you up into their musical web fast, instructing us in earnest as to the basic elements of jazz & funk. What we hear is anything other than tepid music. On the contrary, this group plays with an ethos that is effusive, fiery, pungent, peppery, & passionate. This is a sextet that is stunning in its conception & execution of technique... Possessing as well,  an extraordinay command of their music. Bravo!
