Comments

"Produced by Rubalcaba" Perhaps, "Also produced by Rubalcaba"?

" the album was released" Solo here and "the album" in the next sentence.

Fixed. Javier Espinoza (talk) 20:31, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"received a nomination for a " -> "was nominated for a"

Fixed. Javier Espinoza (talk) 20:31, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"and earned the" -> "and won the".

"Background and release" section is a little confusing, you have the fact it won the Latin Grammy before talking about its release. Or are you referring to the Land of the Sun? If so, I'm not sure what relevance awards albums that have been awarded Grammys in previous years has to this article?

Fixed, I am trying to emphasize on his collaborative work which was succesful and his work on this album "solo". Javier Espinoza (talk) 20:31, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"has "stock phrasing, but a pause in concentration before the sublime quality of a one-minute lullaby worth waiting for"" per WP:ATTRIB, according to whom? Check other quotes like this...

"from Charlie Haden" you don't need to repeat his first name, so Haden will suffice.

" described as "breathtaking".[11][15]" by whom? You see what I mean? If it was described by "my mum" as breathtaking, I'd take it with a pinch of salt, but if a prominent notable composer or critic said it, I'd pay more attention.

"from Allmusic" link.

Fixed. Javier Espinoza (talk) 20:47, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And note, in the refs, you have this as Allmusic.

Not bad at all, a few issues as above, so I'll put the article on hold for a week. Let me know when you're done updating the article in accordance with the comments, or if you need any further explanation. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:33, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
