    Monterey Herald ..Mac MacDonald ..September 20, 2008 .. .. "Friday night's second act, the six-piece Berklee Latin Jazz All-Stars (La Timbistica) from the Berklee College of Music in Boston, kicked the festival into another gear with an incendiary set of Latin jazz. This ensemble is as talented a group as I've heard here in the past several years, especially flutist Enrique "Kalani" Trinidad, who lit up the Garden Stage with his incredible force and technique." .. .. .. Washington City Paper ..Ted Scheinman ..October 6, 2008 .. .. “The future of la musica is assured,” a beaming Jim Byers informed the 9:30 club on Friday night. .. Byers, the host of WPFW’s “Latin Flavor,” spoke after a stellar performance by La Timbistica, a high-flying salsa outfit also known as the Berklee College of Music Latin Jazz All-Stars. The group alternates between five-piece Latin jazz unit and full-on Salsa band. In both formats, they are astonishing. Juan Maldonado deserves special mention for his efforts on the six-string bass, as does Kalani Trinidad for his searing flute (how often do you hear those two words together?) and fine voice, both of which cut admirably through the bright wall of the high brass. Throughout, the band exemplified a classical precision infused with lively improvisation—most notably by Alex Brown, whose eclectic work on the keyboard kept the band from retreating, anonymous, into a genre that too often overshadows its practitioners."
