Havana Jam 79

In March 2-4, 1979, rock, pop, jazz, and Cuban music converged on stage for three days to show that music is a universal language, and that two enemy countries like Cuba and the US were separated by a political wall but joined by a cultural bridge. Havana Jam ‘79 offers stories about Billy Joel, Weather Report, Stephen Stills, Kris Kristofferson, Rita Coolidge, the Fania All-Stars, and CBS Jazz luminaries such as Stan Getz, Dexter Gordon, John McLaughlin, Jaco Pastorius, or the Heath Brothers, plus an array of Cuban stars from Irakere to Orquesta Aragon.
