"Manteca, Part 1, " Dizzy Gillespie, Arturo Sandoval

This was a live recording of Dizzy and friends in Havana in 1985. "Manteca" was composed by Dizzy Gillespie, Chano Pozo, and Walter Gil Fuller.

In 1n 1985, Dizzy Gillespie returned to Cuba after an absence of 40 years. He was one of the first American jazz musicians to add Afro-Cuban elements to his music, and Cubans to his big band. Most notably, in the 40s, was percussionist, Chano Pozo.

A then-young Arturo Sandoval (trumpet) and Gonzalo Rubalcaba (piano) sit in with Dizzy's band. Bari sax player, Sayyd Abdul al-Khabbyr, is remarkable. .Great fun!

God bless you Dizzy, you gave and you gave and you kept giving! You were also the embodiment of the phrase "a candle loses nothing by lighting another candle"
