Ernie
Durawa wasn't convinced. Were the sets as good as they
could've been? Judging from the throng on the big outer
deck of Central Market, parents and toddlers grooving
equally to the Latin-spiced swing of Los Jazz Vatos, si
seņor, they were. Any live set from this grooving ensemble
is a good one, which goes triple for the groups self-titled
CD debut, as good a jazz side as Austin's seen. And it
all begins with Chronicle cover/drummer boy Durawa, the
humblest, sweetest guy ever.
Si
seņor. - Raoul Hernandez
