A Cuban jazz message

“About the Monks” is extremely Latin, high-energy, complex jazz from drummer and composer Dafnis Prieto, formerly of Cuba, with the fine trumpeter Brian Lynch on board, among others. The Buena Vista Social Club doesn’t have anything over on this guy. The CD also could pass for a Latin-inundated Jazz Messengers’ date. Happy to have it.
