Hot on the heels of his appearance in the 2000 film Calle 54, with his son, Chucho and his stunning Latin/flamenco project Lagrimas Negras, This 2-CD/DVD set is an impressive musical autobiography of the Cuban-born, Stockholm-based octogenarian pianist, Bebo Valdes. He's supported by an array of Latin jazz all-stars, including saxophonist/clarinetist Paquito D'Rivera and the late trombonist Juan Pablo Torres. The first disc is an eight-suite big band opus entitled Suite Cubana. "Cachao, Creator del Mambo," pays tribute to the influential bassist, while the processional pulsations on "Nocturno en Batanga," features the engaging rhythm Valdes created in the '50s. The second disc, El Solar de Bebo (Bebo's Place) showcases the pianist in a smaller octet setting. With more room to swing, Valdes's profound pianisms percolate on the Haitianized joropo beats on "Iballah," and the infectious "La Mula." The 22-minute DVD documentary, which contains interviews and rehearsal footage, completes this splendid overview of this towering musician. --Eugene Holley, Jr.

I love this double album. I'm getting a copy for my brother who is a professional trumpet player. He listened over the phone and asked for a copy. I especially like (no, love) the song Bebo wrote for his daughter -- A Mayra (#3 on El Solar De Bebo). Thank you Bebo. Virginia Knapp Schutz, South Hamilton, MA, USA.

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous music.......2007-05-15

My only complaint about this wonderful double album is the defective construction of the CD case, which resulted in a trail of glue on each CD. Luckily, I was able to get it off and enjoy the music. I have watched the DVD yet, so have no comment.

5 out of 5 stars 2005 Latin Grammy Winner.......2005-11-11

This recording was awarded a 2005 Latin Grammy award under the "Latin Jazz" category. Excellent achievement. Well deserved. Felicitaciones Bebo and team !!!

    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.

This CD release includes 25 tracks of Bebo Valdés accompanying Cuba's most important vocalists between 1957 and 1960, with outstanding arrangements that brought out the full sonic potential of the orchestra's stellar instrumentalists.
