"The immensely creative, angular compositions on this album have the same exotic flare as classics like “Caravan,” “Ad Lib on Nippon,” or “A Night in Tunisia,” but with a thoroughly 21st century attitude. Bandleader and bass player Ruben Samama seems to be drawing from a deep well of traditions, from Afro-Cuban to free-improv, from world fusion to chamber jazz. ‘Hotaru’ is such a standout album that it is hard to believe it's his debut recording."
