"Warm Valley is his long awaited
recording debut as a leader, and it's
been worth the wait. The 10
cuts--three composed by
Gonzales--show off the band's
virtuosity and range, from bebop to
ballads to Afro-Cuban Jazz."
"Warm Valley, a sexy, smoky CD that
brims with sultry horn passages and
upbeat Hot Club jazz. Joining him on
the recording is a near peerless
quartet of local jazz masters..."
