Un día como hoy, 2 de febrero de 1938, nació en Hormigueros, Puerto Rico, el cantautor y arreglista Roberto (Bobby) Cruz Feliciano. Maestro, felicitaciones.🎵🎤✍🎶🎉🎂🎊😀😀😀😀😀
Always thought Athuro blew dizzy off. Now retrospectively watching back years latter realise Dizzy was letting his student express himself like a father.
This live performance is my all-time favorite trumpet 🎺 playing of Arturo Sandoval. He was surely at his best here! In all his solos he pretty much played interesting jazz phrasing, blazing fast and Cuban music (My fav solo part is so majestic: @6 21min). And also that last double High G at the end caught me by surprise when I first heard it 😅 Well granted Dizzy wasn't at his best but who cares! He s a legend and inspiration to all of us jazz musicians and non-musicians alike.
I was there and saw this live. This was to me the highlight of the entire concert and in no way does Arturo try to blow away Dizzy - it’s massively disrespectful to say that. I saw this band twice in the UK, once here in London and then next year in Bristol. Both times they were absolutely amazing and undoubtedly the best big band gigs I’ve ever been too.
Dizzy was in his day an amazing trumpet player but into his 70’s his chops just gave way I mean we all know you are not supposed to puff your cheeks out but for years it worked for him!!
Definitivamente Richie Ray es el mejor pianista de la salsa. Nunca he escuchado un solo de piano a este nivel!!! Si el timbalero no se aguza Richie se lo traga con el piano.
