The bicultural Miami sound moves from salsa to Anglo-mellow balladry to funk in one record, one cut or one chorus. Now here's an L.A. version, solidly enough based in Cubanismo to sound like adventurousness and not just rootlessness. Nifty in the details, too: the pop-jazz ballad "Caribbean Blue" is given a delicate tang by a gentle finger-piano undertone. ~ John Storm Roberts, Original Music, All Music Guide
