Our Take

Miguel Zenon's latest offering, 'Yo Soy La Tradition', featuring the Spektral Quartet, is a delightful blend of jazz and classical influences that will have you tapping your feet and scratching your head in equal measure. Zenon's virtuoso saxophone playing shines bright throughout the album, weaving intricate melodies that are matched perfectly by the lush strings of the Spektral Quartet.

From the moment the album kicks off with the frenetic energy of "Mojuba" to the haunting beauty of "Retrato De Herencia Africana", Zenon and the Spektral Quartet take listeners on a musical journey that is both exhilarating and thought-provoking. The interplay between Zenon's saxophone and the Quartet's strings is simply mesmerising, creating a sonic landscape that is at once familiar and completely unexpected.

Tracks like "La Gata Montesa" and "El Espíritu De Una Nueva Esperanza" showcase Zenon's ability to blend the traditional rhythms of Puerto Rico with the avant-garde sensibilities of modern jazz, resulting in a sound that is as unique as it is infectious. The album's production is top-notch, with every note and nuance coming through crystal clear.

In conclusion, 'Yo Soy La Tradition' is a triumph of musical fusion that will appeal to jazz aficionados and classical enthusiasts alike. Miguel Zenon and the Spektral Quartet have created something truly special here, and it is not to be missed. So grab your headphones, sit back, and let the magic of 'Yo Soy La Tradition' wash over you.
