Description
“Irakere” a.k.a. “Live at Newport and Montreux Jazz Festival”, recorded in 1978 and winning the Latin Grammy Award in 1979, does an excellent job of showing the group’s enormous range. The press reviews that appeared in The New York Times, San Francisco Examiner and Billboard were very enthusiastic about Irakere - wondering if they were playing ‘Latin-Jazz-Rock'’, '’Latin-Fusion’' or '’Salsa-Fusion’. There's sophisticated, but pulse-pounding, dance music: the mini-suite "Juana 1600"; "Aguanile Bonkó," a brilliant, high-energy blend of santería and funk. There's Latin jazz (Sandoval's "Ilyá," where the horns get to show their stuff). A 17-minute performance of the multi-movement "Misa Negra," probably the single most important Valdés composition, and a jazz take on a Mozart clarinet "Adagio". The 1970s line-up with Chucho Valdés, Paquito D’Rivera and Arturo Sandoval finds Irakere at their most creative and vital.
