    saw him yesterday in milan.. wonderful concert, he was great and his rhythmic section (Ramsés Rodriguez [!!!] on drums and Joel Hierrezuelo as percussionist) was excellent. i had already loved last year's "Zamazu" and yesterday night i had the confirmation of the greatness of his music. go and see him in concert if you can, and try "Zamazu" for a good set of cubanmusic-influenced latin jazz ;)
