Chucho Valdes - Jazz Bata [FLAC] TQMP

Chucho Valdes - Jazz Bata 2007 Brought to you by TQMP The Quality Music Project With the exception of one song left off due to lack of space, this single CD reissues the music from two LPs featuring Chucho Valdes in Cuba. 1972's Jazz Bata, the first five selections, features the great pianist in a rhythm section with bassist Carlos del Puerto and Oscar Valdes on congas. The originals, which are straight-ahead jazz that utilizes Cuban polyrhythms, show off Valdes' wondrous technique well, and include one song named after Valdes' famous group "Irakere." While "Laureen" is an emotional out-of-tempo ballad, some of the other songs find the pianist making a great deal out of very little including the lengthy vamp piece "Son No. 2." He never seems to run out of ideas. The final five selections are from 1982 and have Valdes leading a five-piece rhythm section plus guest German Velasco playing soprano sax or flute on three numbers; Valdes takes "Son Para Leyanis" as a highly rhythmic piano solo. His "Claudia" is one of his best-known pieces, while the memorable "Zanaith" is on the same level. All in all, this is a superior reissue featuring some of Chucho Valdйs' best piano recordings of the era. -- allmusic Tracks 01- Irakere 02- Son No 2 03- Neurosis 04- Laureen 05- Palia 06- Tema De Chaka 07- Rabo de Nube 08- Zanaith 09- Son Para Leyanis 10- Claudia Artwork (300dpi scan), EAC log and CUE sheet included.
