ABOUT SELVA NOCTURNA The sextet around Antonio Cosenza from Hamburg gives jazz a real pearl of looseness with their third album. That there is so much Latin flair in the album is of course due to the fact that the roots of some musicians come from Cuba, Guatemala and Argentina. Whether it's a racy or a quiet composition of their own, the harmonious coexistence between all the different string and wind instruments is striking, while still leaving enough room for solos. It's a shame that the spirited "Mentirotas" is only one track that has been given a vocal part.(TIMEZONE)
