4 out of 5 stars Mariano Merceron- " Danzones Padres".......2000-05-02

This CD is a very small portion of the recordings of one of the greatest cuban jazz bands of all times. Clarinet/saxophone player, composer and band director Mariano Merceron was born in the Province of Oriente in Cuba. After playing with some local bands he decided to form his own band in the late 30's and traveled to Havana, where he sought and recruited even more talented musicians to enhance the sound of his orchestra. Luminaries like Beny More,Fernando Alvarez, Pacho Alonso Fernando Fernandez, Antonio Prieto and other famous cuban and other latin american singers sang and recorded with Merceron during the 40's and 50's. During his two stays in Mexico, the first from around 1944 through 1950 and the second and final one, when he stayed there for good, from around 1956 until his death in 1976. Mariano Merceron's repertoire consisted mainly of cuban "danzones". This CD includes some of the "danzones" recorded for RCA in Mexico, during his first and second tours, old classics like "Almendra", "Juarez", (originally entitled Marti, No Debio de Morir) "La Barca de Oro", "Maria Elena", "Por Un Cerro Mejor","Nereidas",etc.all identify Merceron's powerful style. Unfortunately BMG/RCA has shelved 99% of Merceron recorded hits and keep giving "little drops of water", to all of us victims of a "long and unnecesary Merceron drought". Too bad, there should be more, lots more!
