Customer Reviews:

Six Stars!!!.......2006-03-29

I can't believe any self-respecting jazz aficionado would give this album anything less than a 5 star rating.
Paquito is simply THE reigning master of Latin / Cuban jazz and this is one of his finest efforts.
Paquito is lyrical beyond imagination and his inspiring, melodical themes are unmatched in any style of music.
As if that weren't enough, the percussion and rhythm sections on this album are phenomenal. The jam / groove arrangements are intoxicatingly exuberant.
This album is Afro-Cuban rhythms and Latin jazz at its pinnacle.
Paquito's classical polish brings a degree of sophistication and elegance that puts him in a class of his own.
This CD is and always will be on the top shelf of my collection. It is timeless perfection.

Smoking.......2004-09-23

This album smokes. Jazz fans listen up. Popular music could really use a shot of this kind of influence. And if you've never seen Paquito live, go now or you'll regret that you've been missing it for so long when you realize how good this music is. Nothing lasts forever.

5 stars for genius c.d........2002-10-21

This c.d. is a must have for any latin jazz collectionist.
This c.d. is a real taste and smell of Cuban culture.
It is so genius that I have never ( untill now ) treasured a c.d. so much, that when I die I want to be burried with it.
Cachito was spectacular on this album, it's as if Cuba is in my back yard everytime I listen to this album.
Ten thumbs up for this incredible album.

Great musicianship, easy to like, slightly traditional jazz.......1999-06-04

This CD shows Paquito at his best. He gathered up some of the best cuban musicians to make this session . . . and it shows! Album presages the Buena Vista by 4 years and is every bit as good. This is one of my favorate D'Rivera CDs.
