Composed for and recorded by trumpeter Eric Berlin and percussionist Eduardo Leandro, this work moves through a variety of popular styles and features both players in dazzling passages. Like the title implies, the use of bongos-only makes this work highly transportable to virtually any venue. Street Jam is a delightfully crisp and punchy work. The two forces, trumpet and bongos, work together at times, against each other at times, and upstage each other at times. The title is a perfect visual image to put with the music. Hause has captured wonderful energy and drive in this piece. --Sequenza 21
