Here Meadows melding his trademark R&B-influenced contemporary jazz sound with the Latin rhythms that have been a personal favorite since his New York days of jamming with salsa bands. When he first considered blending those styles for this recording, Meadows knew instinctively where to turn to achieve the perfect balance: popular Bay Area composer, guitarist and producer Ray Obiedo, who has been a successful solo artist and sideman with Latin bands for many years.
"With some albums, it's just a matter of coming up with a handful of great tunes in any flavor, but here I was definitely aiming for something more exotic," Meadows says."Ray has played for years with the Escovedo Family, and I knew he could bring his hard hitting West Coast Latin vibe to my music. I've been a longtime admirer of his grooves, melodies and blend of Brazilian and Afro-Cuban sounds. It just so happened that when I contacted him, he had been in an intense writing mode, and he brought all these amazing tunes to the table. Some we then collaborated on, and some we just worked on the perfect arrangements for my soprano to fit right in."
