Album

For an album of mostly average Latin jazz, Olé Ola makes it mark with the title track, which features a genuinely soulful vocal by Jill Armsbury.

The whole album is very, very good, but my favorite tune is a composition by Ray Vega called Now is Forever, which features a sublime Flugelhorn solo by Mr. Vega, intro'd by another very fine piano solo by Bob Quaranta.
