Thanks Daniel, for these joyful piece!" PATTI STERLING-mp3.com "What a great "smooth jazz" tune this is!! Daniel Martina has really captured the essence of smooth jazz on "parque urquiza"! The musicians here are obviously veterans who understand their roles within the group. Great playing and great solos should make this a top song on MP3!! This is a very "uplifting" and "airy" tune with a very hummable melody that just makes you feel good. The bassist and drummer create a "deep" groove that's as smooth as silk while the guitar, sax, and vibes have a field day with the nice chord changes they're playing over! "parque urquiza" by Daniel Martina gets my "FIVE STAR" rating!!" CHUCK MOORE - mp3.COM

CD Title: Tute

Song Title: Tute

Record Label: e(m)r (Rosario-Argentina)

Style: Latin Jazz / Latin Funk

Tute - MP3

Track Description: Latin jazz folkloric blend(malambo-jazz blend) Top chart position: #1 at Mp3.com genre. Tute is a folklore playing-card game very popular in Argentina. This song is dedicated to it and to our folkloric culture. It was composed by my musician friend Sergio Santi.

"The title track is not any typical Latin track and has a slightly offbeat rhythm.I liked the percussion and keyboard sounds on this mid-paced song. The clean and very jazzy tones of Martina’s electric guitar have no trouble taking centre stage, even among the other talented and tasteful players here."-Chris Mann.

CD Title: Uninvisible

Song Title: Uninvisible (Entire CD)

Record Label: Blue Note

Style: Soul / Funk Jazz

Uninvisible (Entire CD) - Real Audio

Track Description: Like a journey – some kind of road trip shared by variety to weird, crazy or dangerous hitchhikers – Uninvisible takes listeners past, through and under many sites of interest, all of them characteristically dreamlike. Unlike some of MMW’s previous groove fests, this trip moves along at a speedy clip, leaving you wanting to linger longer at each stop instead of looking ahead to what’s next.

Perhaps one reason this disc moves so well is the circumstances under which it was recorded: The trio got together in a studio in Brooklyn, N.Y., and just jammed, laying down loads of tracks from which they selected 14 pieces to develop with producer/engineer Scotty Hard (The Word, Prince Paul, Deltron 3030, Wu-Tang Clan). - Richard Anderson

U.B. The Monster - MP3

Track Description: For a point of reference, this track is very reminiscent of Bill Bruford’s Earthworks. U.B. the Monster is lead off again by bassist Tarry. I am impressed by every note he plays. He not only has the groove, but he has an ear for picking the right notes and making music. Too many fretless bass players wallow in “Jacoisms” or try to be some sort of bass god at the expense of the music. Chris Tarry is the real deal. - Michael Bettine

Track Description: Out of the plethora of Pat Metheny Group albums that have been released, Speaking Of Now has been one of the most widely anticipated. This is undoubtedly due to many factors: the signifcant addition of a distinct new generation of players (Richard Bona, Antonio Sanchez and Cuong Vu), the marker in the timeline of the Group's existence as one of the most acclaimed ensembles of its time, and the expectations of legions of fans who have accompanied the PMG on its long journey (some since inception). - Fred Gerantab
