Description:
This CD is the newest tour de farce from Cuban pianist Chuco Baldes and the quaartet he's been working with since he took a break from his highly successful big band, Irakere. With their first recording the guartet forged a unique sound emcompassing the full spectrum of jazz from swing to bop to free form, with arrangements based mostly on traditional Afro Cuban rhythms. The group refined its approch, then appeared live on "Live At The Village Vangard", which took the latin Jazz Grammy for 2000. |
