Reviewed: 2017-10-06 Genre: Jazz FCCs: none Review: The liner notes state this double CD is not about Latin Jazz, piano, or Cuba. What it is is a multi-generational celebration of two men who made that music popular while fusing elements of old styles into a new musical language. The playing is superb throughout and there is rarely a dull moment.
