Various Artists: Viva CuBop: Jazz The Afro-Cuban Way
ByHighlights include: a hot arrangement of "The Last Dynasty" with Papo Vázquez, Willie Williams and Arturo O’Farrill; an exciting vocal feature for percussionist Davide Giovannini, "Tierra Va Tamblar," that includes Paul Jayashinha’s bold and brassy trumpet; a mellow vocal anthem, "The Creator Has A Master Plan," sung in English by Darrell Harris and in Spanish by Bobby Matos; and an even mellower "Philadelphia" by Matos’ 10-piece ensemble from his Footprints album that spotlights Michael Turre’s rip-roaring flute lead and Louis Taylor’s luscious tenor saxophone interlude. Recommended, CuBop’s sampler is a great way to get acquainted with the aforementioned artists and to select your own favorites.
