It's not a Latin jazz album, though; these guys are primarily interested in moving classic hard bop into the future with infusions of hip-hop sensibility and groove, and that aesthetic permeates Ninety Miles, though there are occasional keyboard montunos and plenty of conga-driven rhythms to be heard, particularly on the album's peak, the hard Afro-Cuban\/New Orleans funk workout \"Congo.\" In a way, Ninety Miles is a puzzling album, because it doesn't seem to be making any explicit political statement; it's about the artistry, and nothing more. Christian Scott is a blazing young trumpeter in the Clifford Brown mold; Stefon Harris, who came up under Greg Osby, is keenly aware of the vibes' traditional position within jazz, and makes the most of that; David S?nchez is a powerful saxophonist with a flair for melody over muscle-flexing displays of lung power. And that's all they really want you to take away from this album. It's a blowing session that just happens to have been recorded in Cuba, with Cuban musicians backing them. Which, in its way, is a political statement, if an oblique one. But the album is well worth hearing on purely musical grounds. ~ Phil Freeman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 2011-06-21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: JAZZ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 2011-06-21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sanchez-harris-scott","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45222355009651,"sku":"I7JDWD-JJMQ-O6","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0500\/7837\/files\/sanchez-harris-scott-ninety-miles_tDoQ7.jpg?v=1783844544","url":"https:\/\/www.lovevinylrecords.com\/products\/sanchez-harris-scott-ninety-miles","provider":"Love Vinyl Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
