This band's strong points are the compositions and keyboard playing of leader John Harriman and the trumpet of Steve Waterman, which combine to create a spare, crisp, invigorating set of Latin jazz. Waterman, who ranks among today's top British players, is famous for sounding at home in virtually any genre, but his mastery of this idiom is quite outstanding – spiced with just the right touch of bravura. This approach suits Harriman's deceptively simple melodies to perfection. Among the scattering of other material are clever and unexpected adaptations of "Mack the Knife" and Astor Piazzolla's "Milonga del Angel".
