Latin Jazz Descarga Part 2
CD (Item 601275) Tania, 1985 — Condition: New Copy
A killer jam session from the 80s – a surprisingly great record from a decade in which we didn't hear much from Cachao – which makes this set even more essential! All the best elements of Cachao's early descarga modes are in place – but there's also a richer Latin jazz vibe too – that complexity the style picked up from Eddie Palmieri's 70s experiments, fused beautifully here onto the freewheeling energy of Cachao's inspiration! The piano is electric at points, which makes for a surprisingly nice sound – and the rhythms are often way more than just standard Afro-Cuban – but we mean that in a great way. Titles include "Las Gatas Calientes", "Tania Express", "Conversacion II", "Descara Pa Elegua", and "Mi Melodia". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
