In addition to his affinity for Charles Mingus, trombonist Conrad Herwig has pridefully shared the Latin side of things - Miles Dais, Wayne Shorter, Joe Henderson, Herbie Hancock and other giants have had their compositions given a Latin tinge by Herwig, his reflections always facing South.
For his new album, "Reflections Facing South", he's joined by two outstanding practitioners of the art - the late piano giant Eddie Palmieri, and his musical mate for many of his own encounters - bassist Luques Curtis. There's no drummer in this threesome, but plenty of rhythm making moves the project along wonderfully, with Eddie and Conrad sharing some of their favorite compositions for the trio to explore and you to enjoy.
