Tropic Heat

Love jazz flute. David plays alto flute on most of his projects and has a constant latin canvas of rhythms under him. Excellent project

A very good album. Dave, never let you down!

Another great CD from the flute master...Sam's Groove is the heat on this CD!

I love his music

D.V. plays the flute like you've never heard it before with flare and wild, scintilating, all consuming fire, typically UNASSOCIATED with the flute, but also with the tenderness you'd expect with an instrument associated with the calm and serene. The album is well named! On this album, which I feel is essentially latin jazz, he again demonstrates his mastery. By the end of the first track, you just KNOW this guy IS for real!!! I read once that the great Hubert Laws was once his tutor AND IT SHOWS, technically and imaginatively he's faultless. You never know what is coming next, but when you do hear, it'll suprise, tantelise and thoroughly please you. From the opening track to the last the melodies are wonderfully devised and imaginative, percussive timing crisp and tight. If you've never listened to latin flavoured jazz before, buy this album. This is how an instrument should be played!! I've seen D.V. live and he's even better!!! Can you believe that??!!!!

Pure joy. I just listened to this CD again and thanked the universe for The gift of music. I also couldn't resist grabbing my flute to play along... What a great feeling!

Hadn't listened to any Dave Valentin for some years. Listened to some stuff on Spotify but needed to have my own CD. Great tracks, great rhythms. Just love the music. Would love to hear some of the stuff from the 80s.

Todos los álbumes de Valentín me gustan y este es muy bueno y encantador. No dejen de oírlo varias veces

FM放送で耳にして購入しましたが、放送曲以外の曲目も期待どおりでした。
