Ros on Broadway is not a very necessary album of Ros material, Latin music, or show tunes. “Stranger in Paradise” has exotic moments, and “Hernando’s Hideaway” has its usual staccato suspense. “I Love Paris” as a baion, with flute, is somewhat disturbing. “I Talk to the Trees,” a Ros favorite from his earlier baion album, here is a perky instrumental. Essentially New York theatrical music played in British “Latin American” style by a Venezuelan in London, Ros on Broadway takes globetrotting either too far, or not far enough. – Tony Wilds
