Everyon can relate." -- Kevin Ball, former Host/Producer of Jazz Gallery (WGBH 89.7) : "Pianist Joel Massicot leads his group Ritmo Masacote through a unique set of compositions and arrangements on Fantagious that mix a wide palette of musical spices into a fantastic dish. Several tracks draw upon a straight-ahead Cuban influence, interpreted with a modern edge." -- Chip Boaz, The Latin Jazz Corner : "There is an independent spirit at work here, a sense of playfulness and adventurousness... The Ritmo Masacote band are a fabulous bunch of players, and on this date their talent really shows. Massicot’s piano playing is fluid and inventive, easily switching from intense Latin figures to gentle, almost classical ruminations...Highly Recommended." Pablo Yglesias, Editor's Pick, Descarga.com
