Ray has 5 previous releases on the Windham Hill jazz label. This is his 4th release on his Oakland-based Rhythmus Records label.

The music on Ray's Latin jazz project is a highly-energized and hypnotically rhythmic soundscape revealing all the passion, flavor, color and style of the San Francisco Bay Area which conceived, nourished and inspired Obiedo's latest musical venture.
