 Kevin, I can't thank you, Fran, Colin and the rest of Los Gringos enough for the contribution you made to the success of the afternoon. The crowd just loved your playing and you set the scene so magnificently... |

…the ideal gig for this accomplished
Latin American group would be at a nightly venue at the Festival
of the Arts…. the worlds great dance music, played with
intelligence, fire, passion and finesse, and the scene would
become legend |

This CD could become a collectors item… this is the
contemporary equivalent of the way European composers handled
the dance music of Hungary, Slovenia and France, but with
more improvisation and far more creative rhythms. |

This album needs a much wider audience than New Zealand can
provide. |

This album for me, would be a beautiful accompaniment to a lovely
weekend dinner with friends and wine… it deserves so much
more recognition and publicity. It could be huge. |

The musical inspiration for this group comes from Kevin Clark,
whose flugelhorn and piano are now bywords in New Zealand jazz.
There is no doubt in my mind that Kevin Clark is one of our
finest musicians and knows exactly what he is doing. |

The second half was a stunning set from Los Gringos, a seven
piece ensemble now recognised as New Zealand’s premier
Latin jazz ensemble…… the players brought a vibrancy
and tonal colour to the stage that filled the theatre with infectious
joy. |

end... |
