Hazy Ostrwald Sextet - Mambo Companero

Review by Sarah Barnes

The Hazy Ostrwald Sextet's album Mambo Companero is a lively and upbeat collection of Latin jazz music. The album features the talented musicianship of Hazy Ostrwald on piano, as well as a tight rhythm section and a horn section that adds a rich layer of texture to the music.

The album opens with the title track, "Mambo Companero," a high-energy song that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The sextet's tight musicianship is on full display here, with each member contributing to the driving rhythm and infectious melody.

Other standout tracks include "Samba da Rosa," a sultry and romantic tune that showcases Ostrwald's skill as a pianist, and "Cuban Fantasy," a lively and energetic piece that features some impressive solos from the horn section.

Summary by Sarah Barnes

Mambo Companero is a fun and engaging album that will appeal to fans of Latin jazz and anyone looking for some upbeat and lively music. The Hazy Ostrwald Sextet's musicianship is top-notch, and their energy and enthusiasm are infectious. Highly recommended.
