Happy Holidays Congueros & Congueras!
Just wanted to mention that Paoli Mejias has just released his third independently produced album, JAZZAMBIA!  I just picked this up this past weekend and have listened to it several times.  Paoli has really out done himself with this one.  I absolutely love the way he combines straight-ahead jazz with Latin rhythms and his use of several different drums (congas, djembe, bongo, bata, etc.).  Paoli's technique on congas is out of this world.  I saw him perform a year ago in Puerto Rico and I had to pick up my jaw from the floor!   Get this album, you won't regret it.  I believe it's available through CDbaby.com
