"So Near, Yet So Far" is s a mid-tempo Afro-Cuban jazz instrumental that moves with real sophistication and joy. John Settle's vibraphone leads with warmth and melodic authority over deep rumba-soaked percussion, driven by Camilo Ochoa's expressive bongo soloing. Jonny Enright opens the solo sequence with a heartfelt trombone statement, followed by Andrzej Baranek's majestic piano solo and Victor Estevez's soaring trumpet, all underpinned by a rich Conjunto Libre-inspired trombone choir. A track that works the dancefloor and the soul in equal measure.
