Inspired by North American jazz elements and Afro-Cuban rhythms, Masacote’s debut album, Nada Mas, redefines local Calgary talent. The cd features a mixture of arranged Cuban selections and original compositions, headed by vocalist/pianist Vicky Oveson and her nine-piece jazz ensemble. The foundation of our city’s own Buena Vista Social Club? One might go so far. These talented artists are among Calgary’s finest musicians, composing a wealth of experience and education from home and abroad. Nada Mas will leave you a refined Latin music lover with their diversity of Cuban jazz tunes. Check them out at local venues such as Blue Rock, Beatniq Jazz Club and, for the passionate, their cd release party on September 27 at the Latin Corner.
