“The large audience sat in stunned silence and had their senses thoroughly and benevolently overtaken by these sensitive musicians........The synergy between the musicians was amazing as they took us through a range of standards, originals and some lesser known jazz pieces which were all given the cool, sensitive, intense Lateo treatment. Just thinking about some of Joe's drumming still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up..... four musicians who are truly at the top of their game”.
