ALL ABOUT JAZZ

“…Gonzalez has crafted a program of long-form works that are packed generously with arranging delights and happy surprises.”

JAZZIZ

“…tracks driven by Latin dance rhythms (tango, candombe, etc) but stretched into modern realms of harmony, rhythm and form that recall the best of Mingus, Monk and Gil Evans…”

“…an array of colors (…) as she marries modern jazz harmony and the occasional 12 tonish classical master to the deepest folkloric traditions of the south of South America.”
