ERNESTO SIMPSON

Recently arrived from Cuba, Ernesto’s drumming virtuosity is constantly in demand on the NY jazz scene.

“… a joyful expression of life, celebrating, in the course, music from various parts of the world. The music is beyond strict categorization; although it is decidedly within the inclusiveness of the jazz tradition... beautiful melodies, sophisticated harmonies, and varied rhythmic movements [and] pungent solo work."
-Russell A. Roberts, L.A. Jazz Scene, on Circlechant CD, by Santi Debriano

Sounds nice (and cheap for a student like me, hehe).

I just want to point out that Bahai is one of the coolest religions ever. Though I'm biased as a student of Persian (the faith originated in Tehran), it really is a religion whose principles are difficult to argue against. A lot would be different in the Middle East right now if Bahai had really caught on.
