hello, Tzadik RJC: Roberto Juan Rodriguez: El Danzon de Moises Do I find anyone who recommends this one? Are there any similarities with Diaspora Soul? Thank you.
Hello Patbor, Monday, November 4, 2002, you wrote to me: p> Roberto Juan Rodriguez: El Danzon de Moises p> Do I find anyone who recommends this one? You found me. I recommend this one. p> Are there any similarities with Diaspora Soul? Yes is some way. The difference is that Diaspora Soul contains traditional Jewish tunes in Latin-American arrangements, while El Danzon de Moises is the music composed by Roberto Rodriguez, which he claims is originated from Cuban Jewish Diaspora. In other words DS is Jewish music with Latin-American flavor and EDDM is Latin-American music with Jewish flavor. Both CDs are beautiful of course. -- Best regards, Peter Gannushkin e-mail: shkin@shkin.com URL: http://www.downtownmusic.net/
Hello Patbor, Hi, p> Roberto Juan Rodriguez: El Danzon de Moises p> Do I find anyone who recommends this one? And now you found someone who'll suggest not to spend your money on this. First of all, because "El Danzón..." says absolutely nothing new. That wouldn't be a problem is the record had at least some substance in some way or another. Of course, the performances are really good (with that ensemble, what can you expect?) but other than that, I found it to be really lame and slightly cold (at least it left me COLD) I've just listened to Jenny Scheinman's album on Tzadik and, although it has in common with R. Rodriguez the lack of innovativeness, it's a really beautiful album. Sounds to me much more heartfelt and sensitive than "El Danzón de Moisés". The sound of the quintet is amazing, imho. Btw, thanks to everyone for the good response to the Dave douglas interview! It's really encouraging (and hell, I had a rough time at some points!!) Best, Efrén del Valle You found me.

Hello Efrén, I guess if you are looking for "innovativeness" Tzadik's RJC is a wrong place. Few releases only can be chosen to have some. The rest are simply pleasant to listen, especially the most recent ones. El Danzon de Moises in particular is not my favorite and I didn't like it so much until I saw the group live. The concert opened some nuances to which I didn't pay attention before. The music is really fresh and beautiful. Nothing more, but nothing less.
