Wine & Notes: Review of the Ninety Miles Project

Next time you relax and uncork that bottle of Merlot be sure to check out the recently released cd "Ninety Miles." Critically acclaimed jazz musicians vibist Stefon Harris, saxophonist David Sanchez and trumpeter Christian Scott have joined forces to create a distinctly unique collection of songs.  Ninety Miles refers to the distance between Miami and Havana, Cuba. 

Recorded over a week in Cuba, these young lions collaborated with local musicians to create brilliant sounds that shows how good music not only transcends but defies political borders. The music is a splicing of maze-like 21st-century post-bop melodies and sensuous Cuban dance rhythms.

An anticipated documentary with the same name showcases the trio's journey to Cuba. Below is a sneakpeek of the film produced by the Fortess Entertainment Group in association with Concord Records.
