EL VENDEDOR DE PROMESAS

I found Litto Nebbia's previous album, "Bazar de los Milagros" to be a bit of a letdown. There were a few progressive elements, but not many. Mostly, it was an album of latin flavored jazz. Not bad, but mostly uninteresting.

But on this album, Nebbia has returned to form. There is more than a hint of Canterbury styled jazz rock fusion here, and even a piano solo that seems to look to good old Keith Emerson for inspiration.

These are finely executed pieces, with changing themes, time signature play, and and well crafted solos. I particularly like the keyboard sounds he uses. They evoke the classic Todd Rundgren albums in my ears.
