EDITORIAL REVIEW >> Mark "Snowboy" Cotgrove made his name playing on seminal acid-jazz records by the likes of Shakatak, Mother Earth, and the James Taylor Quartet. After his 1996 release, Pit Bull Latin Jazz, Snowboy became a household name to those who argue that jazz is dance music--sweaty, hyperkenetic movers loaded with percussion and percolating with in-the-pocket horn charts. On Mambo Rage, Snowboy (now joined by his band, the Latin Section) blazes through a set of rollicking butt-shakers that somehow manage to raise the temperature in the room without the aid of dozens of perspiring dancers. Looking for some refreshingly cliché-free new-school Latin dance music? Here it is. --S. Duda amazon.com
