"I travelled South America when I was 20 and discovered a vivacious, rhythmic style of music that I hadn't heard before. The enormous variety within the music of South America only allowed me a mere taste of the different styles. It is with that mere taste of styles from Brazil, Argentina, Cuba and Uruguay that I present this album to the listener. The tracks are all in the Latin/Jazz vein with the emphasis on Latin." - Neil Angilley
