Diego Maroto Trio at Zinco Jazz Club

'Make no mistake. The music of Diego Maroto is not some forced attempt at combining native Mexican elements with the harmonies of Jazz. This is no Mariachi-Jazz or a Bop-Jarocho of some kind. This is pure and simple as Straight Ahead a Jazz music as you will hear anywhere...' '...his name is Diego Maroto who hails from and studied in Mexico and I hate to say it, but it's more than likely he and his Jazz compadres will get lumped into some type of World/Jazz or Latin/Jazz category and be treated as an avant- garde act without having heard the music. If you listen to his music, it's no different than what any other mainstream Jazz artist is doing today. Only his music is truly exceptional. One of his compositions entitled MUNDO PARALELO is as hard bop as any Eddie Henderson & Sonny Fortune CD or as funky as any Weather Report or Taj Mahal recording out there...'
