Summary: GREAT LATIN JAZZ FROM CUBA 1957-1961
Comment: TOTALLY OUTSTANDING RECORDINGS MADE IN CUBA 1957-1961 BY CACHAO DESCARGAS. VERY, VERY HEAVY ON THE PERCUSSION SIDE. YOU WILL NOT FIND THESE SONGS ANYWHERE ELSE, THIS CD SHOULD GET TEN STARS. WHEN YOU LISTEN, YOU WILL KNOW THAT YOU ARE HEARING "THE REAL THING".
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Very Impressive, but...
Comment: There are some amazing cuts on this set. Pieces, such as Redención, that preview the the collaborations with Andy Garcia. You can hear Armando (Chocolate) Armenteros, one of the finest trumpeters ever (anywhere), really show off his talent. Or Cachao's brother, Orestes (Macho)...
Ultimately, however, these are descargas (or jam sessions) with all that entails. Also unfortunate is that many, most cuts reflect that time when musicians were required say what they needed to say in roughly 3 minutes.
