5.0 out of 5 stars A showcase for Cuba's legendary trombonist
What a great trombonist 'el Tojo' was! What a beautiful sound and phrasing and what a great arranger too! A pity this record has taken so long to reissue. Most of the tunes are descargas and the band swings and so does the trombone. The arrangements and style are highly reminiscent of Beny More's late fifties band a sound that Generoso himself helped to develop. 'El...

3.0 out of 5 stars Beware!!! Reviews not for this artist or album...
The above reviews are for El Trombon Majadero, not Sacred Rhythms. Totally different albums from different artists. I now have both, since I did not know until after I purchased Sacred Rhythms. I was expecting big, fat, Cuban brass and Sacred Rhythms is definitely not that.

What a great trombonist 'el Tojo' was! What a beautiful sound and phrasing and what a great arranger too! A pity this record has taken so long to reissue. Most of the tunes are descargas and the band swings and so does the trombone. The arrangements and style are highly reminiscent of Beny More's late fifties band a sound that Generoso himself helped to develop. 'El trombon majadero', 'Llegaron del otro mundo' and 'El contrabajo fantasma' are my favorite descargas all composed and arranged by Generoso. This record is a must for any serious lover of Cuban and Latin music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Cuban big band style, November 17, 2004
This review is from: El Trombon Majadero (Audio CD)
A startling bass trombone honks opening lines to Generoso Jiminez's EL TROMBON MAJADERO - then the Latin cha-cha-cha full orchestra kicks in and the classic Cuban big band style takes off.
Bilingual liner notes explain the history of Generoso and tells why this represents his lone recording as a bandleader.
