catchy colorful Latin jazz Ron Rieder – DIA PRECIOSO! Talented arranger and composer Ron was reviewed about this time last year on his “Latin Jazz Sessions“, where he got high marks. This new release (15 May, 2025) is even more full of life and the celebration of it, as you’ll see when you watch and listen to “Volver a Amar (To Love Again)”…
I expect you’ll soon see more videos from him on the Meson Records YouTube channel; be sure to SUBSCRIBE.
The full impact of the sextets talent and musical skills will hit home right away as you enjoy the 4:13 opener, “Blue Skies“… absolutely tight and focused, with one of the best rhythm sections I’ve heard (yet) in 2025!
Player list is too long to itemize here, but you can find it on the BandCamp page for the album… I knew immediately what my personal favorite would be as soon as the first couple bars of the 4:23 “I Fell into a Meme“; in fact, it’s the best Latin tune I’ve listened to (yet) in 2025.
I give Ron and all the players a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED rating, with an “EQ” (energy quotient) score of 4.99… you can learn more, and purchase either a digital or CD version of the album on the BandCamp page for the album, below…
