	Caribbean Net News: Cuban drummer Ignacio Berroa fuses Latin roots and jazz passion

		Berroa was brought to the great trumpeter's attention by Mario Bauza, who helped launch an early Latin-jazz movement with Gillespie in the 1940s.

	Drummerworld: Ignacio Berroa
		"Ignacio Berroa's book is destined to become a classic".
		Author of the highly successful "Groovin in Clave", renowned Cuban Drummer Ignacio Berroa's latest book with CD expands on the concepts introduced in the earlier book.The object this time is to integrate aspects of Jazz-Style drumming with the Afro-Cuban inflected rock and funk rhythms that were explored in Groovin’ in Clave.
		By combining elements from both books, the player will be able to move freely among several styles of music – Jazz, Rock, Funk and Latin – adding an exciting depth and variety to the playing by letting the musical styles be both separate and fused, depending on the musical situation and the drummer’s own inspiration.

	E.J.N. - GONZALO RUBALCABA TRIO
		Berroa replaced Rubalcaba's original drummer who couldn't make the gig due to visa problems.
		"Ignacio is a very strong musician," Rubalcaba says, "because as everybody knows in the business, he's the only drummers capable of switching back from swing to Afro-Cuban, from samba to bossa nova, or any other rhythm flawlessly.
		One time I was in San Francisco and my bassist Brian Bromberg couldn't make it and Ignacio had met Jeff Chambers who had worked with him on Dizzy Gillespie's last gigs and Ignacio recommended him… (He) has an incredible ability to digest Latin and Cuban music.

		But, remarkably, Berroa had yet to record his own project as a leader.
		Co-produced by Berroa, Rubalcaba, and Ricardo (Eddy) Martinez, the eight-track album is a distinctive jazz-meets-Latin project that seamlessly weaves the intrinsically stylistic “codes” of both genres of music — as opposed to a swingin’ affair merely ornamented with Afro-Cuban rhythms or a Latin date with occasional infusion of the jazz lilt.
		The result is a CD where the swing and blues of jazz mesh organically with the Afro-Cuban clave and congas to create a rare hybrid of scintillating tempos and romantic melodies.

	CD Review of Gonzalo Rubalcaba - Supernova on Blue Note @ jazzreview.com
		While Rubalcaba’s music involves elements of jazz--and while Berroa wants to make clear that he’s a jazz drummer and not a Latin percussionist--Rubalcaba is steeped from beginning to end in the tradition of Cuban music in its many forms.
		Berroa’s involvement in the tune changes its character entirely after Rubalcaba emotionally performs the melody as a danzón with gradual modulations and an exquisite touch.
		Once a whistle is blown, Berroa transforms the texture to one of a rumba, allowing Rubalcaba to inject humor and minimal accenting in appreciation of the sweep of his grandfather’s vision.

	Gonzalo Rubalcaba Trio
		The lead piece in this second set allowed Ignacio Berroa to ignite the clave beat, with tiny taps on the metal sides of his drum.
		Ignacio often makes the tiniest part of his drums sound like full metal instruments.
		Ignacio and Gonzalo switched leads, using whistles, a wild keyboard, a sensational Salsa, and then melted all these rhythms into a brand new tone, a contemporary fusion of Salsa and Jazz.

		Haden's intention is to explore the bolero, a distinctive Latin dance rhythm that Ignacio Berroa accents with a soft, subtle snare drum roll, played with brushes, beginning on the "and" of the first beat of the bar and ending on the second.
		The only problem is that Berroa's bolero figure anchors nearly every track -- perhaps what one should expect from a bolero album, but there's no getting around the fact that the music sounds pretty much the same throughout.
		(To be fair, Berroa isn't solely to blame for the sameness.) Most of the songs, save for two originals by Haden and one by Rubalcaba, are Cuban and Mexican standards, and they're beauties.

		Drummer Ignacio Berroa has the intensity of one whose musical enthusiasms were repressed by the state.
		With players such as pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba and bassist John Patitucci, you would expect lots of technique and rhythmic intricacy - particularly as fusion seems to be one of Berroa's jazz influences.

	A Drummer's Tricky Funk and a Trumpeter's Left Turn - New York Times
		Berroa left Cuba for the United States in 1980, finding work with Dizzy Gillespie, Tito Puente and many others.
		Berroa stand out among other Cuban drummers is how deeply he has also mastered the looser feel of American jazz drumming.
		He proves it with his playing on "Realidad y Fantasia," a remarkable type of generous ballad-swing, made with brushes, that may be a dying art.

		Berroa turns Chick Corea's "Matrix" and Wayne Shorter's "Pinocchio" into complex, clave-coded Latin jazz labyrinths.
		Berroa's composition "Joao Su Merced" swings with Yoruba cadences and chants, and his Cubanized renditions of the Brazilian ensemble Azymuth's "Partido Alto" and Antonio Carlos Jobim's ballad "Inutil Paissagem (Useless Landscapes)" make this a pan-American affair.
		For those expecting Berroa to make his own syncopated statement as a leader, this stunning CD was well worth the wait.

	Codes by Ignacio Berroa CD
		The renowned Cuban jazz drummer Ignacio Berroa's debut album as a bandleader is a percolating fusion of African rhythms, neo bop passages, and Berroa's own trademark technically brilliant yet intuitive playing.
		Berroa's supple, supportive accompaniment is an education in jazz drumming, though school was never like this.
		JazzTimes (p.124) - "Berroa shows that he is equally adept at straight eight-note swing and Afro-Cuban clave, often seamlessly blending both vernaculars into one organic whole."

		With a mostly Cuban crew — including Young Lion Gonzalo Rubalcaba on piano and sax stud David Sanchez — Haden gave us 11 lush, languorous boleros, kind of the Cuban version of the tango.
		This past year, Haden and Rubalcaba returned to the studio (along with Lovano and percussionist Ignacio Berroa, also from Nocturne) for a follow-up, Land of the Sun, which focuses on works by Mexican bandleader-composer José Sabre Marroquin.
		Where Nocturne was lusty — wet, even — Land of the Sun is a much more arid affair.
