Rave reviews from Leroy Jones tour
“…further enhanced by drummer Pedro Segundo. Theirs was literate swing, marked by variation and carried with cheerful verve, Segundo deploying a range of fills and extra flourishes that enriched everything, whether in solo or in the section. He swings hard and must be counted among the very best percussionists on our scene today…”
