"On
a program that stretches the boundaries of Latin and jazz
into tantalizing new contours, Richie Zellon has entered a
zone where strikingly dissimilar rhythms from throughout the
Americas blend magically with unanticipated melodic detours
and buoyant jazz improvisations to create a dazzling new idiom."
- Mark Holston Jazziz

"If
there is one contemporary musician who truly personifies the
successful synthesis of the myriad pan-American genres into
unconventional and compelling new forms, it is undoubtedly

alchemist Richie Zellon"- AMERICAS
