“Perez can be heard at his best on track two entitled, Baile de K in which (if the listener has ears) one can hear a respectful nod to the great Bud Powell. This is a superb Latin Jazz recording. 5 Stars”
- John Gilbert, eJazznews
“Perez shows his ample skill on this first album, incorporating the stylistic elements of Tyner, Hancock and Chucho Valdes. …It’s just a matter of time
before his name enters the jazz public’s consciousness.”
-Matt Merewitz, All About Jazz
“Prolific pianist and composer Oscar Perez delivers an amazing bouquet of Latin jazz compositions. Perez blends his rhythmic Cuban roots and American jazz with high skill.”
-Dr. Ana Isabel Ordonez of JazzReview.com
“The pianist’s writing and arranging is smart, tradition inspired Latin jazz with the emphasis on jazz chords and colours. It’s an addictive, sultry sound rich with concise improvisations that always tell a wise tale and tell it well”
-Joseph Blake of The Times Colonist
"This is a musician that has his own voice. Both his compositions
and his improvisations are evidence of this"
- Dave Miele, Jazz Improv Magazine
“This CD has a nice fusion of Latin, jazz... Special guests, Wycliffe Gordon on trombone and Peter Bernstein on guitar, bring an extra dimension
to this emerging jazz ensemble.”
-Dr. Roberta E. Zlokower, Roberta on the Arts.com
“His latest album, Nuevo Comienzo, featuring eleven Perez-composed jazz tunes, is one of those rare albums that successfully combine Latin rhythms with
aggressive jazz tunes and skillful improvisation.”
-Jeff Eason, The Mountain Times
“Pianist Perez' website is bursting with enthusiastic reviews for
his new CD, Nuevo Comienzo - and justly so.”
