5.0 out of 5 stars Best D'Rivera's Recording, February 18, 2000

Ben Nothingham (Boston. Mass) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Portraits of Cuba (Audio CD)

Portraits of Cuba is a classic! What rhythms and exotic sounds emerge from this classic recording! Band,soloist D'Rivera and conductor Franzetti are all in sync with this great afro-cuban jazz. No, no salsa or samba(! ) or danzo bonzo here; there's just great music and pure talent. Grammy winner 1997 Best Latin Jazz Performance - a real winner for D'Rivera and company.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, October 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Portraits of Cuba (Audio CD)

This is probably D'Rivera's best effort in years.His most serious playing without being derivative or so keen into the millionth-notes fiery style. Carlos Franzetti wrote some of the most inspired charts of his now illustrious musical career. Portraits is an amazing project.

3.0 out of 5 stars Big band cocktail lounge in Havana
A nice mellow sound for background music, but nothing with salsa to make you want to samba or such. No Latin or African influences are audible.
