Arturo O'Farrill —
Legacies ... CD Blue Note, 2023. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A real back-to-basics album from Arturo O'Farrill, but one that maybe marks a strong step forward too – as Arturo is recording here for Blue Note in a style that mixes familiar piano trio modes with some of the Latin-style rhythms you might expect – not straight Latin jazz piano by any ...

Obatala ... CD Everland/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1977. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
