this special digipak edition includes the complete ultra-rare albums 'trombn majadero' (areto, 1965, tracks 1-12) and 'ritmo' (kubaney lp, 1960, tracks 13-23) - both never released outside of cuba and never before on cd. the all-star personnel includes : 'chocolate' armenteros, adalberto 'trompetica' lara, 'el negro' vivar (tp); pucho escalante, modesto echarte (tb), celso gmez, armando verdecia (sax); hctor 'el ato' alejo (p), oscar valds, guillermo barreto, papito hernndez (perc) and israel lpez 'cachao' (b), among others. even though this cd includes a brilliantly arranged melange of musical genres, the true highlight remains the exquisite piano, bass, sax, trumpet, percussion and trombone improvisations. these recordings give more than ample proof of the trombone's capacity to sing as a melodically expressive instrument. this material had been previously locked away in the vaults collecting dust, but two years of extensive investigation by malanga music in havana's areto studio archives have brought these gems to light. the tracks have been digitised directly from the original masters, and this edition also boast a 20-page booklet featuring previously unpublished photos and texts in english and spanish, written by important cuban musicologists and journalists.
