Press reviews

 

“Transcending expectations” - DOWNBEAT

   

 “This exceptional session is his follow up effort to his 2005 Latin Grammy nominated release Mi Tambor, & it exceeds all expectations.” - JAZZIZ 

 

“Transcend, blends jazz over-tones with Latin influences, creating an amalgam of groovy sounds that captivate and entertain from the first tune to the last….Paoli Mejías transcends the conventions of mainstream jazz, creating a rich tapestry of original, Latin flavored, improvisational music.”

- JAZZIMPROV

 

"Following on the heals of a Grammy-nominated disc, Paoli Mejias delivers a one-two knockout...an even more daring CD that stretches Latin jazz borders with a mix of world influences"

- MODERN DRUMMER

 

"Este percusionista puertorriqueño nos regala un disco de primera.  Desde la primera canción "Encomienda" dedicada a Ray Barreto, se aprecia la elegancia y belleza de los arreglos, sonido, composiciones y vibra del disco... Este es un proyecto de Jazz Latino de la más alta calidad e imaginación musical."
