Miguel Zenón
by Kevin on 12/12/22Jimmy’s Jazz and Blues Club - PortsmouthMiguel Zenón is a true innovator. He’s one of the very few who pushes the boundaries in terms of rhythmic feels. There is nothing in his playing that is gimmicky. There’s not a lot of “saxophonics” (multiphonics and false fingerings), and there’s not even a lot of vibrato. There is just clean, honest playing that is truthful and from the heart. Miguel is one of my favorite players, and the group clearly has put a lot of time in on the tunes we heard. Everything was super tight, and at times there were layers of polyrhythm provided by each of the musicians. Fantastic! Top notch!
