Look for Roberto Pitre's new CD soon to be released on our very own Candy Ear Label in the fall. Roberto is joined by a circle of fabulous instrumentalists delivering an exciting program of music. From a sultry "Cry Me A River" sung by Cote de Pablo to some seering original "Tambo Jazz"; music that blends Panamanian folk music with modern jazz and latin rhythms. Cote de Pablo is a very gifted singer who recently performed in the Broadway production of The Mambo Kings. Roberto also reinterprets the jazz standards "Take the A Train" and "Night In Tunisia". The CD will be available here soon. We'll keep you posted about future Candy Ear releases.
