Live Concert In 180g Audiophile Vinyl 4LP Boxset!
For five decades, American and Cuban musicians were divided. Listen to the emotional reunionnow on audiophile vinyl.
From bebop to bolero and beyond, Live In Cuba captures nine-time Grammy Award-winning Wynton Marsalis and the world-renowned Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis's first and only performances in Cuba. Explore the profound connections between American jazz and Afro-Cuban music on this deluxe vinyl boxset featuring 4LPs, a gorgeous booklet, and a limited time download of a never-before-released song.
Recorded in front of clamorous, sold-out crowds over three nights at Havana's Mella Theatre in October 2010, Live In Cuba finds the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis performing Ellington standards, Afro-Cuban numbers, and distinctly modern compositions from band members. Live In Cuba is the orchestras first album in five years and a document of two nations indelible cultural connections and of an emotional reunion between long-lost musical cousins.
"Playing Afro-Cuban repertoire, jazz classics and contemporary works, the 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." - The Chicago Tribune
"Supercharged... A suave delight. - The New York Times
"Mr. Marsalis and company strike just the right mood, choose just the right set and play just the right amount to an adoring audience while maintaining the artistic high ground here. The band gave the Havana audience a lot of love over those three nights, and the crowd returned the favor. Its all evident on Live In Cuba." - DownBeat
