[Valdes] is, at the age of 73, one of the greatest living jazz musicians and he can literally astound you. As he gets into his deceptively domesticated solo on Lorenas Tango, keyboard pyrotechnics suddenly fly off into Cecil Taylor/Don Pullen piano splatter.
Theres simply too much right here for anything to go wrong...this is as smoking as world jazz can get. Dig it! --Midwest Record
A tight and punchy horn section, deeply spiritual Afro-Cuban chants, percussive grooves and powerful soloing, all performed with blow-the-roof-off intensity.
