===========================================================
"For many people, Latin music means tango and bossa nova with perhaps a
bit of salsa thrown in. But there is a whole other world of distinct music styles
and rhythms in Latin America. Nojechowicz explores many of them in his compositions
on this excellent release, on which he wrote all the tunes except one. He especially
utilizes the complex dance rhythms of Argentina and Uruguay, along with the
more lifting sound of Brazil – which he credits as a mayor
musical influence. You can hear echoes of the dark sound of Piazolla as he sometimes
weaves in and out of different rhythms in the same piece. All this is overlayed
with the influence of his long residence in the US. His band, El Eco, has long
been active in the jazz circuit and the thriving latin jazz scene in the northeast.
Their playing on this CD is tight and assured. This is true world music at its
best."

"The high quotient of both jazz and exotic Latin American rhythms, performed
with warmth and deep understanding, makes El Eco's Two Worlds uncommonly attractive."
