Bandleader, composer, educator and saxophonist
extraordinaire Diego Rivera aspires to greater
heights and unleashes the transcendent power of
"Love and Peace" on his fourth release for Posi-
Tone Records. With a program of exciting original
compositions and a few heart-felt covers, the session
swings swiftly into action and shines with
bright moments from the get go. Also on the date is
an all-star rhythm section of pianist Art Hirahara,
bassist Boris Kozlov, and drummer Rudy Royston.
With the deep emotionality of this musical offering,
Rivera has noticeably advanced his intention and
expression up onto another level and the poignancy
of these performances will entreat jazz enthusiasts
everywhere to dig deeper into his message of "Love
and Peace" with amazement and delight.
