Latin Tinge
''Latin Tinge'' is an album by pianist Cedar Walton which was recorded in 2002 and released on the Highnote label. Reception Allmusic reviewed the album stating "A solid but not outstanding Latin jazz session... Low-key without being low-energy, ''Latin Tinge'' fulfills the minor goals it sets for itself".Masonn, S.Allmusic Review accessed February 24, 2015 All About Jazz observed "It's jazz by the numbers, played with metronomic regularity, simmering but never boiling over, smoldering but never burning".Holmes, T. K.All About Jazz Review February 4, 2003 JazzTimes said "There is more than a tinge of Latin music here; the title could have justifiably been Latin Immersion. The emphasis of the trio is on adhering to proper Latin rhythmic arrangements. Walton's playing is therefore not as florid as we are used to getting from him; he seems to be more concerned with locking in with the rhythm section than in flying above it".Schu J.JazzTimes Review January/February 2003 Track li ...
