| Don't miss this album!... Few if any (sessions) are as refreshingly original and as thoroughly musical ... (Martignon) is a true jazzman who swings with equal facility and conviction either in or out of clave... he is hip to a much broader array of rhythmic references than the typical Afro-Cuban grounded pianist... "Portrait in white and black" is one of the most compelling albums of the year. Mark Holston, "NEW YORK LATINO"- |
