Description: They are the holy trinity of Latin jazz: pianist Bebo Valdés, the music director of the Tropicana and father of Chucho Valdés; bassist Israel "Cachao" Lopez, the mambo and descarga innovator; and percussionist Carlos "Patato" Valdes, who played with greats from Cuba to Calif... |
 | Recuerdos de Habana: A Portrait at 80 [Read More ...]
Description: Even though he has lived in Sweden for four decades, Bebo Valdés's playing is so poignantly Cuban that you can practically smell the cigar tobacco. Some will remember Valdes as a standout on the soundtrack for Calle 54 or from his Blue Note album El Arte del Sabor from 2001. Her... |

Review: Amazing cuban piano jazz:If you close your eyes and listen to this album, you would be convinced there are at least four hands on the piano at any moment. You would be wrong, of course, since this is a solo piano album by the Cuban legend Bebo Valdes. Not only that, it's his de... |

Review: A CD that is SABROSO!:So where to start with this CD? To call it a masterpiece would be an understatement. This is definitely a worthwhile CD (and purchase). The personnel consists of old, seasoned veterans of latin jazz. The bandleader is 83-year-old pianist Bebo Valdes, the bas... |

Worth 6 stars:If you're looking for that elusive instrumental CD from the golden age of Cuban music then this is it. This is permanently glued into my CD player. Classy, mellow horn sections and mostly laid-back rhythms from 1957-60 with a 'big-band influenced' yet so totally Cuban sound. |

Review: Ride Off!!:Finally getting his long deserved credit, this recording from 1994 shows Bebo Valdes and this All Star Ensemble really taking off, with the "Dream Team" horn section (Paquito d'Rivera, Diego Urculo, Juan-Pablo Torres) playing two outstandingly powerful homages to Dizzy... |

Review: Cuban Old School!:Bebo Baldes Y Su Orquestra - Descargas Del Bebo is great. The piano work is graceful in front of a good band. Pure Cuban work of art. Looks like Bebo wrote most of the songs. I think this is some old stuff that came out on CD in 2001. It's worth the money. You'... |
