Our Take

This album opens with a blast of brass that makes you feel like you've just been transported to a bustling Havana street party. Dizzy Gillespie's iconic trumpet playing is front and centre, infusing every track with his signature Cuban flair.

The 2018 version of "Cubana Be. Cubana Bop" is a fresh take on a classic, with updated arrangements and slick production that give the songs a modern edge. From the infectious rhythms of "Manteca" to the sultry horns of "Tin Tin Deo", each track is a celebration of Gillespie's innovative fusion of jazz and Latin music.

But it's not all about the music - Gillespie's charisma and charm shine through in every note. His playful banter with the band members adds an extra layer of fun to the album, making it feel like you're right there in the studio with them.

Overall, "Cubana Be. Cubana Bop" is a vibrant and exciting listen that showcases Dizzy Gillespie at the top of his game. Whether you're a longtime fan of his music or a newcomer to the world of Latin jazz, this album is sure to put a smile on your face and a rhythm in your step. So grab a mojito, kick back, and let Dizzy take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. Cheers to that, baby!
