Trumpeter Arturo Sandoval is originally Cuban. And you can clearly hear that in his music. Also on "Hot house" the listener can enjoy fine Latin jazz again. The CD includes a song on the theme of Cuba's national dance: the Cha-Cha; the song is called: "Funky Cha-Cha". In "Rhythm of our world" different rhythms from countries like Puerto Rico, Argentina, Brazil and Cuba come together. "Hot house" is
… a jazz classic best known for Dizzy Gillespie. It also contains songs like "Sandunga" and "Mam-Bop". Special is "Tito" with Tito Puente on timbales. A nice guest role is for singer Patti Austin in "Only you (No se tu)". The CD "Hot house" is great big band latin jazz! (JW) _more
