Dizzy Gillespie with Machito - Afro-Cuban Jazz Moods

ONE OF THE BEST JAZZ ALBUMS

Afro-Cuban Jazz Moods was the first jazz CD I have ever purchased. Dizzy Gillespie does the trumpet very well in this album and whos as great as Miles Davis my favorite one. It is also known as latin jazz. If you close your eyes, this music could take you on a journey into Cuba. I also have this album on LP and cassette and it is very awesome and this is one of my favorite albums of all time. For every jazz collection, this should present one of them. January 30, 2008

A great Jazz cd

I love all the songs in this CD which is one of my favorite cds of all time. This was the first Jazz cd that I bought and I was immediately loved by that genre so I bought some other jazz cds later but this still is my favorite of all of them. Dizzy Gillespie is a great trumpet player and is my favorite along with Miles Davis. This cd is a highly recommended masterpiece. September 9, 2007

Chico O'Farrill as major composer

Latin Jazz has never gotten the credit it deserves (did you hear Ken Burns mention it?), and Chico O'Farrill is unjustly left off most lists of our greatest 20th Century composers. The O'Farrill - Gillespie partnership goes back to the 1940s, and this album finds both of them, well after the era they made their names in, still at an absolute zenith of their creative ability. I would compare this to the Gil Evans - Miles Davis collaborations. March 7, 2001
