Imaginative fusions of Cuban dance forms and pungent contemporary jazz.... A typically shrewd fusion of the time senses of two quite different cultures.
John Fordham, the Guardian
East London 6-piece Time Zone has been mixing traditional Afro-Cuban music with contemporary Jazz for some years now. The new album “Crossing the Line” is the result of much experience and in-depth research into both musical languages, Cuban as well as Jazz. Cuban elements are re-assembled, as in collage, or mutated to fit odd meters more common in eastern Europe, yet still with a Cuban feel... the groove can change in mid flow, like suddenly turning a corner, a new view opening up, another way of looking at things....
