Title: Not a good example of Cuban Jazz
Product review: This CD is, at best a mediocre example of what Latin jazz should be. Granted, Cachaito is an excellent performer; his classic Cuban style comes through in spite of his lackluster fellow musicians. Unfortunately, you cannot put an album together with a single good "contrabajo" player.This entire album sounds as if it was put together in a hurry, with a hodge-podge of amateurish players and sound effects; electric guitar with heavy use of distortion pedal, synthesizers providing "atmospheric" sounds, serve only to make us yearn for the good music of pre-Castro years.I guess I shouldn't be surprised; If Ray Cooder could get away with inserting Hawaiian sounds into Cuban music, why not a wah-wah pedal?
