I was thrilled when trombone/cello master, Dana Leong, agreed to bring a group
to the LP studio to create a tune for the 2006 holiday cd. This young master
is a mainstay with Paquito D'Rivera's musical presentations and in one case,
replaced the legendary Yo Yo Ma. Dana's project brought to our Holiday CD,
for the first time a rapper, Baba Israel. It was exciting to present this
exciting spoken word element within the context of a band. What a band
it was with Dana
Leong on cello/trombone, Edmar
Castaneda on harp, Aviv Cohen on drums, Baba Israel on spoken word, Jason
Lindner on keyboards, Pernell Saturino on percussion (conga, djembe, shakers,
samba whistle).
