Mistura E-JAZZNEWS REVIEW
By George W. Carroll
A panoply of fusion, funk, and some jazz are words that come to mind as I listen & review the UK'S Rowland Sutherland & his new ''Mistura'' CD project. Positive latin influences are prominent throughout the project, & the group's take of tunes such as ''Lilting'' can only be described (assertively I might add), as mystical.
Leader Sutherland's flute renditions are prodigious, as the group plies their wares with a tightness manifest in all their renderings. This is good solid music, & these well polished performances are not lacking in invention. On the contrary, I will suggest that Sutherland's body of work here (which I assume is all original), is replete with a high level of infinite, praiseworthy, professional, & musical conscientiousness..................All virtues that can only be described as admirable.

...at long last the debut Mistura LP is here.
author: Straight no Chaser
It's been a very long time coming, but at long last the debut Mistura LP is here.
A decade ago, flautist Rowland Sutherland's fierce, multi-talented outfit could be seen gigging around London. And in 2003, the sound of Afro-Brazilian street percussion still sounds as fresh.
The artists on this live set read like a who's who of the contemporary Latin jazz scene. Joe de Jesus on trombone blows as hard as ever, as does Sound Advice's Byron Wallen on trumpet. Richard Ajileye's percussion is intense and intricate and, of course, it's all tied together by the precision flute playing and vision of Rowland Sutherland.
Apart from the epic samba rhythms of the title track, the LP is also worth checking for Mistura's glorious version of Oli Ahvenlahti's 'Grandma's Rocking Chair', another dancefloor stormer.
It's taken some time to finally come around, but it's great to have them back.
