About the album

Formed as a septet, Drummer Joe McCarthy's Latin Grammy Award­winning Afro Bop Alliance expanded to a big band for two of its five previous releases. For their sixth, McCarthy adds further to the palette, blending stellar rhythmic creations and powerful, resonant horn voicings with steel pan virtuoso Victor Provost's pan quartet on two of his original compositions. Along with other music by Roland Vazquez, Vince Norman/Joe McCarthy, and Luis Hernandez, "Revelation" explores the unique combination of big band and steel pan as one, in a diverse recording that takes large ensemble writing and performance to a new level.
Zusammen mit Musik von Roland Vazquez, Vince Norman / Joe McCarthy und Luis Hernandez erforscht "Revelation" die einzigartige Kombination von Big Band und Steel Pan.

his Big Band lives on percussion, and this is also the most important element that distinguishes it from other formations... Right on the first track, this becomes clear, and the guitarist also sets his accents. But another very special feature is the use of the four Steel Pan players, which spread this vibrant Caribbean flair... My tip: Just drop it and plunge into this lively atmosphere. The band plays at the highest level, the arrangements sit perfectly, but never stiff and the individual soloists can convince everyone with relatively short, but effective solos...
