[Edit]

Keyboardist Jose Luis Madueno's outing shows off the influence of the Latin side of Chick Corea and the Yellowjackets. Madueno is easily the dominant force, for Steve Tavaglione makes just three appearances (his tenor solo on "Reflections" is a highlight), flutist Pedro Eustache helps out on two numbers, three songs have a guitarist, and there are one of three bassists on eight of the songs; only drummer-percussionist Alex Acuna (who is replaced by Barry Smith on "Moonspark") is on virtually every number. Jose Luis Madueno displays his Peruvian heritage, along with a strong melodic streak, and performs music open to the influences of pop, fusion and even new age (the ballads are quite lightweight) in addition to straight-ahead jazz. The results (which are not recommended to Latin jazz purists) are enjoyable, if a bit derivative. The playful "Games," a trio rendition of "Nica's Dream" (with bassist John Patitucci), and the grooving "Waiting for Tomorrow" are the high points.
