One of my favorite albums..finally on LP (a few years ago).. the reissue has an extra song..and a couple of tracks are extended
Over the past few decades I have listened to some of his pre Buena Vista stuff and it tends to suck..recording quality sucks..his piano buried in mix or slathered with strings..songs not as good
Maybe I haven’t heard his 50s and 60s with the classic Cuban orchestras but I suppose his piano will be even more buried and solos short
In any case this album is a definitive masterpiece..it’s a shame he was “rediscovered” so late in life and at the same time a real blessing he was rediscovered
