Review:
"An introduction to the highly praised Cuban jazz pianist, one that culls from sessions that span the decade from 1978 to 1988. The album starts out with a piano solo, moves into a tune featuring Bobby Carcases on vocals, and Arturo Sandoval and El Guajiro on trumpets plus a full big band that includes Changuito. It's of its time, sounding American, Brazilian and Cuban all at once, with Salvador tearing it up on
piano.
Recommended."
