Des castagnettes, une contrebasse entétante, la voix rauque et sensuelle de Lonnie Elder, le climat est étouffant : nous sommes dans un bar à strip tease de Tijuana. Jamais la tension / détente du jazz ne fut si délibérement érotique, indécente."Ysabel’s Table Dance sums up all we could buy in Tijuana. It includes the farout strip tease – spots in the music played by the piano represent the scantily clad woman spinning from table to table, reaching her hand out for tips, bills, or what-have-you. This composition, I believe, contains the fire, the pulse, and all that I felt as I heard the tune in my head with the movement of her body. It’s the last piece ; then I return to my true self and it’s all over but the music. "
