Embers - José Valentino :
Featured on Fresh Trax Edition 405 - May 7th, 2006
José Valentino Ruiz is a brilliant young flute player known for his passionate improvisations. Frequent trips with his family to Puerto Rico infused Valentino with fervour for his Hispanic heritage and excitement for Latin rhythms. Accolades abound for this Tampa-based 18-year old who has earned highly impressive credentials having already played or performed with many international stars, among them Chick Corea, Hubert Laws, and Peter White. As such, it's a treat to share music from Valentino's Flute on Fire debut with you today. The album is another fine product from Allon Sams and Studio A and from it we have a fantastic track called Embers ... go to the feature.
