Chucho is the strong but gentle giant on the piano. I sat a few feet away from him while he jammed on the piano at the Jazz Showcase after the Jazzfest in Chicago back in 2000. Wow, I was never so impressed by the strength of this jazz pianist! He tamed that piano!
OK, have to comment again. now that I saw the whole song. Unbelievable!!! even better than the album version! Thanks so much for posting!!!! This made my day!
No F@*#ing blasted hell mother of all that is holy & every expletive in the book.....There's live video of this collaboration!!!!!!!!!!????? I'm am in shock. The "Straight Ahead" Album is one of my most prized possesions! Not only for the music, but I also have it autographed by both Chucho AND Arturo!!! My life will not be complete until I have a dvd of this whole concert. And it even sounds great too!!!!!
El bajista es Jorge Reyes, integrante del grupo de Arturo Sandoval, a la partida de Arturo se quedo en la Banda que codirigio junto al pianista Hilario Duran.
Lo vi en documental sobre cuba . . . cuando fidel (con minusculas) entro a la habana triunfante dijo que en la isla solo se deberia tocar la musica de cuba . . . que los demas ritmos que se tocaban en los casino y hoteles de la isla era una aberracion del imperialismo incluido el jazz por suspuesto . . .de ahi emigran a USA lo mejores Jazzistas de cuba . . .
@WoodenBadger77 YOU"RE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO RIGHTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT MAN
Que lastima que Fidel Castro diga que el Jazz es imperialista y los mejores musicos de cuba la interpreten siendo de los mejores jazzistas del orbe . . . tan solo Chucho Valdes con su interpretacion magistral en el piano y Arturo Sandoval virtuoso en la trompeta
Decir k el jazz es imperialista si suena contradictorio vieniendo de Fidel Castro, especialmente si consideramos el NUEVO talento jazzistico que sigue saliendo de esa isla, asi k hasta k alguien no nos muestre ese video de Fidel diciendo eso aqui en youtube, les sugiero que pongamos eso k dicen y escriben los demas en perspectiva y disfrutemos de un Harold Lopez-Nussa, Rolando Luna, Roy Brown, Roberto Carcases, Aldo Lopez-Gavilan, etc, todos ellos verdaderos genios del jazz.
what bass is that?

Chucho Valdés debe ser el mas grande pianista contemporaneo
En General todo el album de Stright Ahead es otro nivel, tocan Blue Monk, Claudia, Mambo Influenciado, My funny valentine
Es para volar...
Alguien sabe quién es autor de Blues '88?

De acuerdo con el título, yo diría Chucho. Pero podría estar equivocado, porque Arturo es también un gran pianista...

I hate to use absolutes, but for these guys I make an exception.
Arturo = the greatest trumpeter in all conceivable universes
Chucho = the greatest pianist in all conceivable universes
Arturo + Chucho = Heaven
Thank you for sharing!
