Jelly Roll Morton identified "Spanish tinge" as the powerful ingredient that spiced his tunes in the dawn of jazz. Decades later, Mark Levine and the Latin Tinge infuses classic jazz with Afro-Cuban rhythms in a way that would make the jazz father proud. Levine's light-handed piano melodies dance across the top of complex, layered beats of congas and bells. Above it all flutter the flute notes that uncannily evoke dappled streets of Havana with sunshine and a smile. The late Brazilian composer Moacir Santos is the quintet's latest muse, adding sambas and bossa novas to a lively conversation between percussion, piano and flute. - Maria Grusauskas sanjose.com
