"Magic Corner" is a creative Latin jazz fusion album that features the unique and stylish work of talented saxophonist Rudy Albano. Albano's work is refined, polished, and fits very nicely with Latin rhythms and progressions. The sound of this album is original and non-traditional, pushing the envelope in both performance and creative choices. Each song almost has an individual personality attached to it that will stimulate your ears and intellect. The production value is very good as well, so you can hear each instrument clearly with no instrumental overlap as Albano takes you through this journey of heavily layered arrangements. Highlights include "Crazy Blues," a very quirky and atonal track with bizarre rhythms and a very unconventional arrangement. The title track, "Magic Corner," gets you moving right away with its lively rhythm and later incorporates a great sax solo and a killer bass line. "It's Like Fun" is probably the catchiest track with its Latin rhythms and upbeat nature that will instantly bring a smile to your face. "Magic Corner" is an impressive album that displays Albano's ability both as a composer and as a saxophonist. If you enjoy experimental jazz heavy on the Latin elements, pick up this album.
