While maintaining their ebullient Latin-Jazz patina, Lara & Reyes’ sixth Higher Octave release also incorporates instrumentation and music elements from around the globe. The much-heralded acoustic guitarists (who also perform on other instruments) are joined by longtime musical friends and family. Together, they traverse the cosmopolitan clubs of Paris, wing their way to the effervescent Caribbean, step back into the time of the Aztecs and visit such exotic ports of call as Bombay and Havana.
