I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Time To Say, from Sergio Pamies and it's a strong tribute to Chick Corea. Opening with Latin flavored release with title track, Time To Say, Sergio Palmies on piano joins with Dave Liebman on soprano sax developing a strong melody over the rhythm bottom held tight by Samuel Torres on percussion, Jimmy MacBride on drums, Miguel Fernandez on percussion and handclaps and Ricky Rodriguez on bass. Excellent opener. Sleep Delirium is another really solid track featuring Alex Norris pelting out melodic lead soloing on trumpet, chased by Pamies on piano and MacBride on drums. Michael Thomas gets the floor and sets his sax flowing. Corazonada has an extended bass solo by Rodriguez and exceptional percussion by Torres allowing solid piano soloing by Pamies. Kenny Wheeler's Miold Man is a strong addition to the set with a great moving bottom and featuring Marshall Gilkes with a terrific trombone solo, a strong trumpet solo by Norris and Daniel Pardo on flute. Wrapping the release is Nana Para Sergito featuring Paquito D'Rivera on clarinet floating above Pamies on piano melody. D'Rivera and Pamies each take nice stretches, embellishing the melody nicely over Rodrigues on bass and quieted percussion and drums by Torres and MacBride. This is a solid closer for a really strong release.
