Review by خليل قنديل

Enchantment by Hilton Ruiz is a captivating album that showcases the pianist's incredible talent and versatility. The album features a mix of original compositions and jazz standards, all of which are performed with impeccable skill and sensitivity.

From the opening track, "Enchantment," Ruiz's virtuosity on the piano is on full display. His playing is both technically impressive and emotionally expressive, drawing the listener in and holding their attention throughout the entire album.

One standout track is "Bilbao," a lively Latin jazz number that features Ruiz's intricate piano work and a dynamic rhythm section. Another highlight is "Stella by Starlight," a classic jazz standard that Ruiz imbues with his own unique style and interpretation.

Throughout Enchantment, Ruiz is joined by a talented group of musicians, including bassist Andy Gonzalez and drummer Ignacio Berroa. The chemistry between the musicians is evident in their tight, cohesive performances.
