Mac Gollehon & The Hispanic Mechanics deliver a vivid, cinematic explosion of world-fusion that combines Latin Caribbean grooves, progressive electronica, and brass-heavy jazz on Pistoleros. Gollehon composed and wrote all eight original songs, and he plays a staggering variety of parts—trumpet, trombone, tuba, keys, guitar, and vocals—anchoring the record with his restless creativity. He’s joined by percussionists Anthony Carrillo and Elvis Ferrara, with Greg Meisenberg on bass, drums, and guitar, and David Brenner providing synth effects, sound design, and electronic textures. The production, recorded, co-produced, and mixed by David Maurice, builds a sense of high drama, with moments of lush orchestration alternating with raw, rhythm-driven intensity. It’s an improvisational, daring album that invites you to listen as well as move.
