Gumpi Falcon has played guitar for over 40 years and been a sound engineer for close to 30. His first album, titled D-fusion, is a throwback to 70's style jazz fusion harking back to the days of Miles Davis, Chick Corea, John Mclaughlin and Al Di Meola. It is a tribute to the transitional period where jazz went from the traditional acoustic to the modern electric sounds and all the experimentation that came from it. Though the style of music has a retro flare it very much feels modern and up to date. His new album, "My Latin Heart", picks up right where "D-Fusion" left off and then stirs towards his hispanic and puerto rican roots. The new album is wall to wall latin jazz bookended by two jazz-fusion tunes and with a funk somewhere in the middle. Song styles include latin jazz, samba, salsa, funk, fusion and more. The most frequent comment made about the new album has been "I like it better than the first."
