Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com essential recording
The billing (Irakere "featuring Chucho Valdés") illustrates what a draw the leader-pianist Valdés has become in his own right, and Yemayá does indeed showcase his prodigious talents as a keyboardist, albeit on an electro-acoustic instrument and with a set designed as much for the American jazz audience as for his Cuban roots. The opening title cut with Valdés's sister Mayra Caridad on vocals is a killer Latin-soul-jazz workout, while track 2, with blistering solo work from Valdés over a crisp, percussion-led rhythm, sets the tone for the remaining seven extended cuts. This is not so much Cuban music as jazz with a Latin base--complex, disciplined, but swinging hard. The pace is often frenetic, with soloists diving straight in at the deep end, but with sophisticated arrangements there is always plenty of light, shade, and drama. Yemayá represents a new phase for Irakere and is Latin Jazz of the highest caliber, full of virtuosity and passion. --Derek Rath

Album Description
A rare discovery of virtually unknown recordings. These are the unreleased sessions long awaited by every Latin jazz fan. These sessions were recorded in La Havana between 1976 and 1978, but between his excellent sound quality and the innovative music that Paquito created, we were amazed to discover that they sound like they were recorded yesterday! A great mix of Jazz and Latin groove. With Arturo Sandoval, Chucho Valdés, Carlos Emilio Moraes and Oscar Valdés.

The indisputable father of what is known today as Latin Jazz, Mario Bauza recorded "Afro-Cuban Jazz" in 1986, reuniting some of the greatest figures of this genre. Paquito D'Rivera (alto & soprano sax), Jorge Dalto (piano), Patato Valdes (congas), Jose A. Fajardo (flute), Ignacio Berroa (drums), Graciela Grillo (vocals) and Claudio Roditti (trumpet), were only some of the exceptional musicians that graced this masterpiece.Album Details
Bauza was a Highly Talented Section Player in the Havana Philharmonic Until He Moved to New York City in 1930. He Became Musical Director of the Chick Webb Orchestra and Helped Convinced Webb to Hire Ella Fitzgerald as his Lead Singer. He Went on to Play with Don Redman and Cab Calloway, Convincing the Hi De Ho Man to Hire Dizzy Gillespie in his Orchestra. In 1941, He Took Over as Musical Director of Brother-in-law Machito's Orchestra, Encouraging the Bandleader to Incorporate Solos Into his Arrangements. This Volume Encapsulates but a Portion of Bauza's Great Contribution of Cuban Jazz to the American Idiom, One of It's Great Unsung Heroes.
