jazz
I didn't know exactly what to do or how to do a concert review, but here it goes. On Thursday, February 26, 1998 I went to the Van Dyke Club on South Beach. It is located on the corner of Lincoln rd and Jefferson, and it's a very nice place to go eat or to go enjoy a good jazz show. They offer live jazz 7 days a week, and when I went I had the pleasure to enjoy the sounds of Sammy Figueroa and the Latin Explosion featuring Carlos Averhoff on the sax. Sammy was on the congas with splash cymbals on the sides, Nick Culla on the drums, Mike Hort on the piano and Henry Jart on the bass guitar. The quintet played a fast swing jazz with a Latin fus
The second piece featured a baritone sax, very small and very bright sound. The drums and bass were "trading fours". ion, which I had a chance to connect with. Then Sammy pulled out a "charrasca" which filled in with the snare drum. Applauses filled the room while the band members had a sip of their drinks. They started with a circus like melody with congas comping and then a rain like sound filled the room. They would change the speed of the song however they felt, it kept you at the edge of the seat. Then everyone together again to announce the sax solo which was followed by a bunch of splashes all over. It was a very salsa like jazz and also had some breaks with reminded of syncopation. " everyone played together, then a sax solo with very high notes, going up and down the scales. While my food and drink were getting to the table, the drummer started playing by himself accompanied by a bell.
