Hilario Duran
From The Heart - Enhanced CD Plus Bonus DVD
Import
CD
(Alma Records 66062),
Released 2008;
Editor's Pick:
The highly talented Cuban pianist takes on the big band over the length of two CDs, helped by the talents of Paquito D’Rivera on saxophone and Horacio “El Negro” Hernandez. It’s often extraordinary music; Duran takes his group and runs it through and with the large brass orchestrations. At times the arrangements recall Gil Evans — check out From the Heart — and at times more traditional Cuban arranging. Boy is this stuff rehearsed; there’s some tough music here to play, and the band and orchestra pull it all off. El Negro’s magnificent on the date, driving when he has to be and wildly precise at others. Duran’s solos and montunos are perfectly in order; this stuff’s heavy, heavy music, both in its imaginative range and in its execution.
Highly Recommended, and we have to give it up to whoever funded a two CD set. (Peter Watrous, 2008-10-01)
