Chico O'Farrill as major composer.......2001-03-07

Latin Jazz has never gotten the credit it deserves (did you hear Ken Burns mention it?), and Chico O'Farrill is unjustly left off most lists of our greatest 20th Century composers. The O'Farrill - Gillespie partnership goes back to the 1940s, and this album finds both of them, well after the era they made their names in, still at an absolute zenith of their creative ability. I would compare this to the Gil Evans - Miles Davis collaborations.

Good Solid Disc.......2000-04-27

Dizzy Sounds Good Here.His Music is without Category.that is Genius&Legacy.His Work Still is Mind-Blowing.He is One Of The Greatest Musicians ever in any Style of Music.He Combines Many Elements really well Here.

This one is REALLY GREAT so don't listen to the naysayers.......1999-12-03

I have over 30 Diz pieces and have seen him a few times. This one, while more contemporary in that is an orchestral arrangement by Chico O' Farrill, is REALLY tremendous and along with Bahiana are my two favorite later Diz albums. It ain't bebop, it's latin and if you are listenin' to it wantin' bebop, you should put on a bebop album. I happen to really love any of Diz's latin/afro-cuban albums. You can also hear latin songs on even his earliest Bluebird recordings and they are fantastic.

Excellent.......1999-10-15

I disagree with the listener who thought that this had a "Tonight Show" band sound. Especially as to the first piece (which was the entire 1st side of the vinyl album when it came out), the arrangement and performances are varied and exciting. Dizzy's playing is excellent as well. I have found that many people who are rock fans with little exposure to jazz respond well to the first piece on this album, and think that it is quite exciting and interesting. Dizzy had made umpteen albums with his bop soloing over an acoustic quartet, and this album was an admirable attempt to give him a different style to play in.

Not TYPICAL Dizzy Afro-Cuban!.......1999-10-14

However, I liked the CD very much. Though the CD was not what I expected from Dizzy Gillespie, because it can sound sort of contemporary in a "Hawaii 5-0" theme song kind of way, it is a wonderful album and is still a welcome addition to your Dizzy collection.

Frank Raul Grillo, also known as Machito, was the leader of The Afro-Cubans, a fiery definitive Latin-jazz big band. Not only did they sport a topnotch percussion section, featuring Candido Camero, Jose Mangual, and Uba Nieto, but they worked the arrangements of Mario Bauza, the father of modern Afro-Hispanic jazz in the U.S. This outstanding album, recorded in 1957, the same year that Tito Puente cut his historic Top Percussion sessions and Israel "Cachao" Lopez laid down his influential descargas. Named in honor the African country, Kenya, with pianist Rene Hernandez and A.K. Salim contributing compositions and arrangements, swings with the ancestral anthems that fueled the best Afro-inspired dances. "Wild Jungle" is a roaring rumba capped by special guest Doc Cheatham's zesty trumpet solo. The title track is an elegant Palladium-style lullaby graced by tenor saxophonist Ray Santoz's Lester Young lilt, and the Florida-born Julian "Cannonball" Adderley's Charlie Parker-like alto-sax riffs fly on "Oyeme," with another American, trumpeter Joe Newman. On the bata-drum-driven blues "Congo Mulence," Adderley and Newman create inspired solos off of the clave, highlighting the wonderful Afro-American and Afro-Cuban musical language Machito spoke and swung so well. --Eugene Holley, Jr.

Customer Reviews:

Hot!.......2007-05-23

This recording doesn't come close to showing its age. Sound quality is fabulous, and the sizzling Cuban beats and hot musicianship will have you up and dancing.

Not what I expected........2006-11-02

I was a little disappointed in this. I thought the CD would have an African flair, or at the very least, would sound "latin". I thought it sounded more like just big band jazz, but with no latin sound. For example, Machito's "Tanga" I really love, but there was nothing remotely like this on this CD.

A "MUST HAVE" MACHITO CD !! .......2006-05-24

As it says above, truly a "MUST HAVE" CD for any lover / true collector of Afro-Cuban-Be-Bop Jazz. One of, if not "the best" recordings of the perfect combination of Afro-Cuban and 1957 Be-Bop!
AWESOME big band arrangements by pianist Rene Hernandez and A.K. Salim! Doc Cheatham in the Trumpet section, Julian "Cannonball" Adderley plays a KILLER Be-Bop alto-sax! And of course the percussion mastery of 'Candido Camero', 'Jose Mangual', and 'Ubaldo Nieto'
The beauty of the Kenya sessions is that they were done in 1957... when hard Bop and Afro-Cuban ruled! This CD for under $7.00 is a steal! Rated 10 stars! **********

Explosivo.......2002-03-08

Del abuelo de la Salsa es bien poco lo que no sea dicho.
Solamente tomar en cosideracion la constelacion de estrellas que conforman esta grabacion y el sonido es algo que deleita el gusto de cualquier salsero que busca "SALSA GORDA"
Si la gente de color busca en "James Brown" el abuelo del "SOUL"
muchos cantantes tienen en su escuela personajes como Machito, Tito Puente, Eddie Palmieri entre otros.
No tengo quejas de ninguna de las canciones.
Unas por la letra, otras por el Ritmo y el resto la combinacion de los dos elementos.

I think I bought the wrong CD.......2001-03-30

Some of the songs in this CD are good, but most of them are not. Song number 2 and 3, Desilusion and Despierta Boricua are great, but the rest are bad. Maybe you want to buy another CD rather than this one.

THE BEST LATIN MUSCI HANDS DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2005-11-25

The Palladium Ballroom on 53rd Street and Broadway was the hearf of Mambo & Latin music and the home of Machito, Tito Puente and Tito Rodriguez.

The Big 3 Palladium Orchestra is the bain-child of Machito's son Mario Grillo. It was decided to approach the Puente & Rodriguez families to represent the music of the Palladium era. Margaret Puente and Tito Rodriguez Jr. were delighted to offer their original charts for use, along with the Machito scores.

Joe Madera began writing augmented charts to enable the bigger group to perform these pieces of Americana Music History and the ball was now in motion. The Big 3 Palladium Orchestra was born.

'the most thrilling music by far came from a sensational, relatively new band, called the Big 3 Palladium Orchestra....The Big 3 already may rank as the most brilliant large Latin jazz ensemble this side of Havana.' - Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune

'Recorded live at the Blue Note Club, this group just sizzles. The original arrangements swing in a very sophisticated way mixing the old with the new. A great release, every aspect of the music on the album is sheer class with some real, tasty, jazzy solos...' The Beat

'the Big 3 Palladium Orchestra, with it's screaming horn section, frenzied rhythm section, and its high-octane, bone-crunching arrangements is, by far, the most hard-core tribute record I have heard in a long time. A guaranteed dance-club floor burner.'
