Editorial Reviews
Great music from a young-musician establishing his own-voice. Strongly founded on the roots of traditional-jazz & afro-caribbean.
Product Description
This recording was made without "click tracks". Most of the songs were recorded in "one take", with the exception of Caravan and "La Varita Mágica", due to the different "over dub" elements.
Ramón Vázquez is a veteran of the recording studio, having been a sideman on dozens of projects for artists through a wide variety of genres. "On The Move", marks his debut as a leader. For his maiden recording, he selected some of the best players on the scene, including the highly talented members of his working quartet: Yan Carlos Artime, a very expressive Cuban pianist, who is equally at home with complex pieces, as well as in the subtleness of "La Varita Mágica" which he also co-authored; Alejandro Avilés, an up and rising player with a command of the alto sax and outstanding improvisational skills, who also contributed one of his original compositions for the project ("Eso Na’ Ma’"); Henry Colé, an outstanding energetic, yet sensible young drummer from who we will certainly continue hearing about, since he is rapidly becoming a highly in-demand sideman with calls coming from many bandleaders, including established names such as David Sánchez and Miguel Zenón.
For the date, Vázquez also recruited some of his long time music associates and friends, and other special guests: these include violinist Paola Vázquez, Ramon’s nine year old daughter, who at such an early age, demonstrates exceptional skills and musicianship; Alex Acuña, who needs no introduction, since he is one of the most influential latin percussionists of our times; José "Chegüito" Encarnación, a master of the sax and one of the most talented players to emerge from the Puerto Rico music scene; Paoli Mejías, a tasteful latin percussionist who has earned international acclaim in latin jazz and traditional Afro-Caribbean music; Candido Reyes, Puerto Rico’s premiere güiro player; drummer Hector Matos, a powerhouse who truly understands interplay and who has a long time association with Vázquez; guitarist Ramón "Moncho" Ríos, the funkiest and most soulful guitarist in the local scene; pianist Amuni Nacer, who is a household name synonymous with solid playing, and who truly! contributes to making Caravan groove; and Eddie Wakes, a talented vocalist with an impressive range who’s made of Puerto Rico his home.
