Read some quotes about Jimmy Le M:

'La Clave de Londres:- una orquesta con un sabor y un swing increible, me siento muy contento de ser parte de esta producción y le deseo a Jimmy el exito que esta orquesta se merece.¡Que viva la salsa en Londres y en el mundo entero!'
Tito Allen

'Having paid his dues on the bandstand with international Latin names like Tito Allen, Jimmy Bosch, Adalberto Santiago, Orlando Watussi and Luisito Carrion, Jimmy le M's exciting and innovative debut album sets a new world standard for UK salsa.'
John Child - writer/reviewer

'Jimmy le M and La Clave de Londres hold the key, one which opens the door to a whole new different sound and style in salsa! Rooted in Africa, nurtured in Cuba/Colombia/Puerto Rico, refined in Nueva York, and re-invigorated in London, this "Salsa Feeling" is infectious. Try it, you'll like it and I guarantee, you'll soon be back for more!'
Lubi Jovanovic - Straight No Chaser Magazine

'This is the Sound of Latin London today, polished and perfected by Maestro Jimmy Le M just in time for the clubs and Xmas parties. The vocals of New York salsero Tito Allen on two songs is the icing on the cake, but altogether this is a chart-worthy collection of tunes. Sharply produced and brimming with solos to stop you in your steps, it is up there with the best of Latin America's salsa bands. The real treat, of course, is to experience La Clave live. Highly recommended.'
Sue Steward – Journalist, brodcaster, author of Salsa: Musical Heartbeat of Latin America

'This is it. Stop searching. You wanted salsa dura – hard salsa? Well, here it is. And it doesn’t come from New York, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Colombia, Panamá, or Venezuela. This one comes from London, England, and it cooks. This is salsa the way it was meant to sound. The band, led by Englishman Jimmy Le Messurier, really keeps the tradition alive, by honoring the salsa from the 70s, when the Fania label ruled the earth. Not only that, they also incorporate timba, reggae, and rap into the mix. The result is explosive and highly danceable. On this occasion, the enjoyment goes to the maximum level with the addition of experienced sonero Tito Allen, who is a special guest singer in this remarkable album..... with Jimmy Le M & La Clave de Londres, our future is in good hands.'
Eric Gonzalez dj and reviewer

'For me, salsa is more than music from just one time or place, much more than just a rhythm. It's a musical movement that began in New York some 30 years ago - led by a new generation of musicians and the visionary label Fania - which blended the tropical, traditional popular music of the Hispanic Caribbean (most importantly the Cuban son) with the daily experiences of urban life in 'el barrio'. It took on sounds and expressions from jazz and other forms to create a wild, urban jungle music, a music which proved itself capable of embracing a whole universe of expression, and which has gone on to inspire succeeding generations of musicians and public. Tropical music that transcends itself, highly danceable but capable of reaching beyond the dance-floor. This album is aimed at capturing the essence, the feeling of this music, hence the album's title, SALSA FEELING.'
