The trogon is the national bird of Cuba, and UK trumpeter, educator and MD Nick Smart's cosmopolitan sextet (including Troyka guitarist Chris Montague, UK/Bangladeshi pianist Kishon Khan and Cuban bassist Denny Martinez) takes wing on this mix of classic Latin dance grooves, raga-influenced rhythms, and elegantly enfolded jazz themes by Kenny Wheeler and Stan Sulzmann. The title track has sparkling melody over a contemporary groove but makes a deft segue to classic son cubano in the middle, Wheeler's famous Kind Folk unfolds in thoughtful brass reflections as the Latin percussion vibe ticks on, and Kishon Khan's Todi Or Not Todi opens in surefootedly jazzy trumpet lines over a tambura drone before a conga shuffle enters. It's an undemonstratively idiosyncratic fusion, and Smart plays with brightness, tight timing and subtle intonation throughout.
