Tom Ehrlich was blown away by Thursday night's performance of the Axel Tosca Trio, featuring legendary Cuban vocalist Xiomara Laugart -- still at the peak of her powers -- with Yunior Terry on bass and Diego Ramírez on drums. Bandleader Axel Tosco, Xiomara's son, was the original pianist of the Pedrito Martínez Group.

Recording with Pupy Pedroso (on his 1995 solo LP), Pablo Milanés, Yerba Buena, El Tosco of NG La Banda. and many others, Laugart established herself as one of the top vocalists of her generation before relocating to New York City, where she's had a long career, including playing the lead role in the off-Broadway production of Celia: The Life and Music of Celia Cruz.
Yunior Terry
