Machito Collection 1941-52

We have Machito to thank for the creation of Afro-Cuban jazz, as it was he and his Afro-Cubans who introduced U.S. jazz greats to the potential of Latin rhythms in jazz. These 40 tracks chronicle the coming together of Cuban music and American jazz as it happened; you’ll hear Charlie Parker, Buddy Rich, Milt Jackson, Flip Phillips, Howard McGhee, Harry "Sweets" Edison and even Harry Belafonate across these 40 tracks: the landmark 17-minute "Afro-Cuban Jazz Suite" plus "Caravan," "Vacilando," "Parabola Negra," "Cubop City," "Mambo Jambo," "Que Me Pasa," "Mambo Fortunado," "Flying Home," "Sopa De Pichon," "Rumba En Swing," "Adios" and more!
