EditorsPick: 
A nice, small record from Cuba, by way of Eugene, Oregon. Marquez, a Cuban-American who grew up in Puerto Rico for a minute, then in Oregon, went to study Cuban culture in Havana, had aspirations of being a singer, and then, what?...recorded an album in Havana with none less than David Alfaro on piano, Julito Padron on trumpet and arrangements by Juan Carlos Marin, from the Afro-Cuban all-stars. The result is a stately, bolero heavy album that is at moments beautiful; she reminds people of the singer Ana Belen. The recording makes you want to go back to it.
Highly Recommended. (Peter Watrous)
