We must all thank Andy Garcia for sponsoring, el maestro, Israel Cachao Lopez's re-emergence and sainthood. The first release, "Master Sessions Vol. 1" was good, but in my opinion was a warm up exercise preceding this masterwork. This lush, perfectly produced recording smokes. Cachao is brilliant, as is the rest of the team. Rolando LaSerie's surprise presence here is like having the deck stacked. Icing on the cake.
Reviews:
"A super-duper-must-have!" (Phil Riggio 98/99 Catalog)
"This and Master Sessions, Vol. 1 (TL-14476) are essentials of any serious music collection. These two beautifully produced CDs are like a distillation of Cachao's massive body of work: elegant danzones, fiery descargas, amazing bass riffs, old and new material, and a dream orchestra. Lazaro Galarraga sings on Vol. 1, Rolando LaSerie on Vol. 2. Each cut is a gem." (Nina Lenart 98/99 Catalog)
