Our Take

Bill O'Connell & The Afro Caribbean Ensemble's latest offering, "Wind Off The Hudson," is a delightful cocktail of musical influences that will have you swaying to the rhythm faster than you can say "soca meets salsa."

From the moment the first track kicks in, you're transported to a tropical paradise where the sun is shining, the drinks are flowing, and the dancing never stops. With O'Connell's expert piano playing leading the way, each song is a vibrant tapestry of sounds, blending Afro-Caribbean rhythms with jazz, funk, and a splash of reggae for good measure.

The ensemble's chemistry is palpable, each musician adding their own unique flavour to the mix. The horns blare with reckless abandon, the percussion is tight and funky, and the bass lines are so groovy, you'll be tapping your foot involuntarily.

Highlights include the infectious "Salsa For Luisito," which will have you twirling around the room like a pro, and the chilled-out vibes of "Caribbean Lament," perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Overall, "Wind Off The Hudson" is a feast for the ears, a musical journey that will have you longing for sandy beaches and palm trees swaying in the breeze. So grab a cold drink, kick back, and let Bill O'Connell & The Afro Caribbean Ensemble whisk you away to a world where the sun never sets and the music never stops. Pure bliss.
