LEGENDARY PERCUSSIONIST PETE ESCOVEDO AND HIS BAND CAPTURED LIVE FROM STERN GROVE FESTIVAL
"What's up, San Francisco? Are you ready to have a good time?" asks timbales player and band leader Pete Escovedo at the beginning of Live From Stern Grove Festival, his terrific new album that captures a live show he played earlier this year at the legendary 75-year-old San Francisco cultural venue and institution. Escovedo and his band then swing into a breezy rendition of the Tito Puente classic "Picadillo Jam," and from that moment it's readily apparent the band can deliver on Escovedo's promise. Live From Stern Grove Festival is set for digital release September 25, 2012 on Concord Picante/Stiletto Flats Inc. (There will be a physical release in 2013, international release dates may vary.)
The ensemble brings that same energy to the following track, Wayne Wallace's "Take Some Time," a song that allows guitarist Michael Angel Alvarado to exchange spirited riffs with the talented players in the large horn section.
It makes sense Escovedo would recruit a phenomenal player like the Bay Area's Alvarado to play in his band. Early in his career, Escovedo toured with guitarist Carlos Santana for three years before starting the Latin band Azteca, a group that successfully established Escovedo as a major Latin jazz artist. Throughout the '70s, Escovedo collaborated with many of jazz's best players, including Herbie Hancock, Bobby McFerrin, Cal Tjader, Stephen Stills, Anita Baker, George Duke, Dion Warwick, Barry White and Chick Corea. Given Escovedo's 50-year history of playing jazz, it's fitting that several of jazz's best players contribute to Live From Stern Grove Festival.
Ray Obiedo dials in some terrific guitar work on Escovedo's rendition of his "Brasiliero," a contemporary jazz number that benefits from Obeido's spirited soloing. Guitarist Michael Angel's intense playing on the first half of "True or False" practically pays homage to Santana before giving way to a fantastic saxophone solo that comes courtesy of special guest Dave Koz.
