Chucho Valdes & The Afro-Cuban Messengers

                              
                             Chucho's Steps

Veteran Cuban jazz pianist Chucho Valdés pays tribute to many of his mentors and peers on Chucho's Steps. The first hint of his intention comes with the instrumentation of a sextet also featuring Juan Carlos de Castro Rojo Blanco on drums, Lázaro Rivero Alarcón on bass, Yaroldy Abreu on percussion, Carlos Miyares Hernández on tenor saxophone, and Reynaldo Melián Álvarez on trumpet. Valdés dubs the band "the Afro-Cuban Messengers," thus referencing both Dizzy Gillespie's bebop orchestra and Art Blakey's hard bop band the Jazz Messengers. It's Gillespie who gets an initial nod in "Zawinul's Mambo," which, despite its title, is more suggestive of him than of Joe Zawinul. "Danzon" is a ballad that gives a showcase to Hernández, while "Begin to Be Good" (mixing elements of Cole Porter's "Begin the Beguine" and George Gershwin's "Lady Be Good") does the same for Álvarez. "New Orleans" is subtitled "A Tribute to the Marsalis Family," and it has a Dixieland feel. The most African track on the disc is "Yansa," on which Dreiser Durruthy Bombalé provides keening vocals. "Julian" refers to the real name of Cannonball Adderley, and naturally it is in his soul-jazz style. The title tune, echoing John Coltrane's "Giant Steps," is cool jazz. None of these stylistic excursions is very strict, however. Valdés never loses his identity as a rhythmic Latin jazz pianist, and the Latin percussion nearly always maintains the band's true nationality. Still, this is a versatile set demonstrating the 68-year-old pianist's continuing vitality and invention, along with his reverence for the history of jazz.

Lalo Schifrin/Astor Piazzolla - Two Argentinians In Paris

Lalo Schifrin/Astor Piazzolla 

 Two Argentinians In Paris

Those who are fans of both Lalo Schifrin and Astor Piazzolla should be delighted by this reissue of important early works. The tunes here were originally on separate albums by their respective artists and have been long out of print until the issue of this BMG compilation.
The first eight songs are by Lalo Schifrin and they show the listener both his piano virtuosity and his already strong skills as an arranger. I recognize many of these songs having heard them done by other artists in my father's record collection. Though the "tropical" sound may seem dated and quaint to modern ears, several listens will show you just how far advanced Schifrin was for his time. Jack del Rio's Latin percussion work is just outstanding across the board! The booklet says that Schifrin is embarrassed by the title of the album on which these songs were originally available, and so they have been omitted from his discography and from previous compilations. Once you hear them, you will be perplexed by his embarrassment.
The last eight songs are from an Astor Piazzolla recording session in Paris done the same year (1955) as the Schifrin sessions. They are available with other songs from the Paris sessions on another CD called Paris 1955 that I own and which can be obtained from the French music publisher that owns its rights. These were done at a time when Piazzolla was getting away from the traditional "orquesta tipica" that dominated the Argentine tango scene and began blending his tango with classical and jazz elements. The results here are nothing short of spectacular. Never before and never since had Piazzolla made a recording of such dazzling beauty! I am a fan of most of what Piazzolla did in his career, but these timeless compositions remain among my favorites. If you are a Piazzolla fan who hasn't yet heard these obscure and admittedly hard to find recordings, then your understanding of Piazzolla's music and career cannot yet be fully developed.
With the CD comes a booklet in French and English. Though it is very informative, the French portion is much more thorough in its commentary.
After listening, I find it hard to believe that this great music is already more than 50 years old. Order Two Argentinians In Paris today and you will hear what I am writing about.
