After receiving a Grammy nomination for their first Savant album "...And Sammy Walked In" (SCD 2066), percussion master Sammy Figueroa and the Latin Jazz Explosion returned to the studio to create "The Magician", an album featuring Sammy's musical sorcery on the congas, accompanied by Mike and Nicky Orta on piano and bass, Alex Norris on trumpet and the extraordinary drummer Ludwig Alfonso. This is Latin jazz at its very best, with Sammy casting his magic spells with a combination of unparalleled virtuosity and sense of celebration. Fans of Sammy's first album will love this album and for new fans "The Magician" will serve as a great introduction to one of the music world's most exciting wizards.
