An auspicious debut album by Cuban drummer-percussionist-composer & bandleader, Francisco Mela - with top tenor guests Joe Lovano and George Garzone, plus Herbie Hancock’s guitarist Lionel Loueke, and Fresh Sound New Talent keyboardist Leo Genovese, among others. Mela, who composed all the music, propels the band forward with consummate skill and the interplay is always fresh, exciting and inventive.

Mela is also a part-time professor at Boston’s famous Berklee College of Music. He’s performed at major international jazz and Latin jazz festivals with artists including Danilo Perez, David Sanchez, Don Byron, Emiliano Salvador, and Horacio Hernandez, and has recorded with Chucho Valdes and Irakere, and the Jane Bunnett Spirits of Havana (both on Blue Note).
