Afro-Cuban Jazz - Important Albums

Important Albums

Machito's Kenya: Afro-Cuban Jazz was released in 1958, when Afro-Cuban jazz was no longer fresh and original, and was slipping into cliché and formula, but as there are not many classic Afro-Cuban jazz albums, this is regarded by Tony Wilds of Allmusic as "essential".

Other important albums:

  • Afro – Dizzy Gillespie
  • Afro-Cuban – Kenny Dorham
  • Cuban Fire! – Stan Kenton
  • Motherland – Danilo Perez
  • On Fire – Michel Camilo
  • La Verdad – Eddie Palmieri
  • Mi gran pasion – Gonzalo Rubalcaba

Famous quotes containing the word important:

    Fifty years from now, it will not matter what kind of car you drove, what kind of house you lived in, how much you had in your bank account, or what your clothes looked like, But the world may be a little better because you were important in the life of a child.
    —Anonymous. Quoted in The Winning Family, by Louise Hart, ch. 1 (1987)
