Am very excited and proud to have contributed in my way to Francisco Mela's First Recording as a Leader. The free flowing atmosphere at the session made us all explore his music in each setting with the most creative intimate approach. All of the Sounds and Feelings truely speak for themselves. Yeah Mela!! I'm glad we live in the same Worlds of Music together... - Joe Lovano"Francisco Mela's new album recording is full of life soul and adventure. He has combined all the ingredients that I love so much; his native Cuba, his philosophies and unique vision. I want to say this recording is powered by warmth, spirit and great playing by all.
