One
of the most unusual albums ever cut by the legendary Latin
jazz trombonist Juan Pablo Torres – and one
of the grooviest, too – a special set that was recorded in Milan in the mid 80s, with bac
kings by a sweet group who do a great job
of blending Latin rhythms, clubby grooves, and just the right touch
of jazz! Juan's on trombone in the lead – working with the Algo Nuevo group, which features the mighty Gonzalo Rubalcaba on piano, Fender Rhodes, and other keyboards – plus trumpet work from Adalberto Lore, who balances out Torres' sound in a really great way! There's both a mix
of electric and acoustic percussion on the set, and the groove is more 80s club than 70s disco – and also comes across with the style
of some
of the more unusual hybrids that you'd be likely to find on the Areito label during Juan's generation in Cuba. Titles include "Alone", "Que Melcocha", "Y Caramba Que Son", "Oblivion", "Rialto", "Bermuda Triangle", and "Cubadisco".
