After not having led a recording session under his own name in 29 years,
O'Farrill came from seemingly out of nowhere to lead a terrific Afro-Cuban big
band date on this CD. O'Farrill claims that he turned down offers to lead
standard seven or eight-piece salsa bands on records over the years, preferring
to wait until a big band opportunity came along - and clearly, he was bursting
with accumulated charts dating from the 1960s through the 1990s. Not too much
has changed since O'Farrill's exciting string of albums for Clef in the 1950s;
if anything, his arranging hand has become surer, more sophisticated, thoroughly
in touch as ever with a wide variety of influences. Most striking of all is how
O'Farrill was able to build a fire underneath the musicians in the band, which
includes leaders in their own right like trombonist Robin Eubanks, conguero
Jerry Gonzalez and drummer Steve Berrios, as well as Tito Puente's tenor
sax/flute player Mario Rivera and O'Farrill's son Arturo Jr. on piano. The most
ambitious track is also the most entertaining one, an extended 1964 O'Farrill
composition called "Variations on a Well-Known Theme" ("La Cucaracha"!) that
deftly welds together various big band idioms, near-parodies of Muzak and
television writing, and Afro-Cuban percussion workouts. Latin jazz fans will be
pulverized and delighted by this recording.~Richard S. Ginell
