Arturo O'Farrill: Wonderful Discovery

Arturo O'Farrill: Live in Brooklyn

Read "Live in Brooklyn" reviewed by AAJ Staff


This Latin-flavored live date (recorded in August, 2003 at Brooklyn's Up Over Jazz Café) features the pianist son of Chico O'Farrill--now a successful forty-something small and big bandleader in his own right--in a relatively straight-ahead trio setting with bassist Andy Gonzalez and drummer Dafnis Prieto.
