Raúl Agraz - Between Brothers (2016) lossless

The star trumpeter transcends even the magical repertoire with his pure and radiant tone...But the electrifying and athletically awesome orchestral performances also set this album apart from many others...
LATIN JAZZ NETWORK

Percolating with a combination of latin rhythms, bossa nova, swinging big band arrangements, traditional Venezuelan rhythms, and tender arrangements scored for strings, "Between Brothers" marks the dynamic solo debut of Venezuelan trumpeter Raul Agraz. Along with the electric talents of Dave Samuels, Paquito D'Rivera, Luis Perdomo, and Luisito Quintero, Agraz has created a dazzling set of music, dedicated to the musical brothers who came together to make the recording a reality. Beginning his professional career with the Venezuela Symphony Orchestra, the top call New York trumpeter has performed with Celia Cruz, Tito Puente, Oscar D'Leon, Mingus Big Band and The Vanguard Orchestra.
