We're proud to announce that LIVE IN CUBA, the first album from the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis in more than five years, arrives in stores today. The glowing reviews are already coming in:
"[T]he JALC Orchestra may have done more for American-Cuban relations in a single week than all the political rhetoric generated from both sides of the Straits of Florida for the past 60-plus years...
[T]here's something more on "Live in Cuba:" The band's urgency of expression, dynamism of rhythm, range of instrumental color and ensemble cohesion are quite striking to behold."
