Title: Machito at the top of his form
Product review: Albums like this reminds us that there *was* a world where musicians performed live and delivered the goods. Machito's strengths are shown to excellent advantage here. "Cuban Fantasy" is a tour-de-force. "Almendra" is delightfully sly. Machito's take on Mile's Davis "Pent-Up House" makes you remember why "Latin-Jazz" used to matter and not a synonym for homogenized jive. Graciella's soulful vocals on "Alma Con Alma" and "Ayer Lo Vi Llorar" testify to the inherent heartache beneath the surface. If you needed a reason to live, "Jamaicuba" would be good place to start.In conclusion, not a bad track on the CD.
