NETWORK

"Florencia's charts have an air you may call Third-Stream, you may call

world music. I' d call it worth hearing."

JAZZ

INSIDE

"tracks driven by Latin dance rhythms (tango, candombe, etc) but

stretched into modern realms of harmony, rhythm and form that recall the

best of Mingus, Monk and Gil Evans"

"an array of colors () as she marries modern jazz harmony and the

occasional 12 tonish classical master to the deepest folkloric traditions

of the south of South America."

"Florencia Gonzalez seems to impress everyone with whom she comes in

contract."

JAZZIZ

"Florencia Gonzalez performance was again one of the most interesting and

enjoyable acts, with the right balance between school and street, between

north and south, between the past and future of music. "

LA

DIARIA

,

" They play a mix of Gonzalez originals and pieces by Uruguayan masters

like Jaime Roos and Rubén Rada, Gonzalez combining her attractive light

singing voice with her earthy, lyrical tenor playing.

Her own tango "Mujer soñando con la evasión," based on the painting by

Joan Miró is a standout: a tango rhythm and melody twisted with modern

dissonant harmonies in the manner of Astor Piazzolla, and a

subdued interlude for Gonzalez's probing tenor work."
