From his initial training in Havana to his exile in the United States, to his soundtracks for some of Clint Eastwood's films, Arturo Sandoval crossed the second half of the twentieth century like a meteorite. His fabulous performances from the 1970s within the legendary Irakere group, alongside the visionary Chucho Valdés, confirm the great creativity that reigned in Cuba at the time. Rich in experiences (as a complement, listen to the Cuba-Music And Revolution by Gilles Peterson and Stuart Baker for the Soul Jazz label), this artistic period was admirably transcribed in 1992, on the British stage of the Brewhouse Theatre. Surrounded by a complicit band, the American composer and multi-instrumentalist offers here a broad spectrum of his talent, well beyond the strict Latin jazz framework. Marked indelibly by the coppery flashes of bebop (one thinks of course of Dizzy Gillespie or Charlie Parker, both fans of sunny rhythms), Arturo Sandoval offers a captivating escapade in blues land, scatting like a handsome devil at the bend of an improvisation, and devotes himself to masterful flights of fancy on the piano, his other instrument of heart: impressive… Vincent Caffiaux

This interesting collection finds Chick Corea playing seven then-new originals with a variety of musicians including flutist Hubert Laws, tenor saxophonist Joe Farrell, trumpeter Al Vizzutti, bassist Stanley Clarke and, on "Flamenco," tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson. The music is pleasing and spirited if not all that memorable; an average release from a hugely talented jazzman. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

Founded by the great Oscar Hernandez and Aaron Levinson in 2000, Spanish Harlem Orchestra – or SHO – is an emblematic salsa group, winner of two Grammy Awards, and a figurehead of ‘salsa dura’ – salsa typical of Spanish Harlem (New York City neighborhood) born in the late sixties and popularized by the great Fania Records label. The orchestra is elegantly composed of pianist Oscar Hernandez, three vocalists (Jeremy Bosch, Carlos Cascante and Marco Bermudez) and two trumpeters (Hector Colon and Manuel Ruiz), two trombonists Doug Beavers and David Rothschild), a saxophonist (Mitch Froman), and then there are congas (George Delgado), bongos (Jorge Gonzales), timpani (Jeffrey Lopez) and a bass (Jerry Madera). Together, they create a music that does not age; a music that belongs to the past but still remains fresh, its future dependant on groups such as the Spanish Harlem Orchestra that help to perpetuate a precious heritage. For this performance, the atmosphere is warm, the mood is contagious, and the salsa steps follow one another. It’s hard not to smile as you get caught up in the intoxication of the brass instruments, and it’s hard not to feel sunshine on the face, and rum in the throat once you get hooked on the feverish congas. Led by salsa giant Oscar Hernandez – former musical director of Paul Simon and Ruben Blades, who played with Ray Barretto for six years and shared the stage with Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Tito Puente and Oscar D’Leon – the Spanish Harlem Orchestra has not finished spreading salsa and good vibes around the world. **Anaïs Christidis Guillemard**
