    Smoldering jazz is kicked up with the intoxicating polyrhythms of coastal Peru as trumpeter and composer Gabriel Alegria continues to chart a fresh new idiom. Combining his own distinctive approach to jazz trumpet with the rich heritage of Afro-Peruvian music, Alegria is joined by saxophonist Laurandrea Leguia, guitarist Yuri Juarez, bassist Joscha Oetz, drummer Hugo Alcazar and percussionist Freddy "Huevito" Lobaton, who plays traditional Afro-Peruvian instruments such as cajon (box drum) and quijada (jawbone) and adds spectacular passages of zapateo criollo tap dancing.
