Lalo Schiffrin's Latin Jazz Suite takes US to irresistible landscapes of musical styles and dance: The intensity of the Cuban montuno, the bewitching flavors of the Caribbean, the seductive gaucho cadences of the Argentinean pampas, the hypnotic and compelling African rhythms, and the tantalizing fire of Brazil. Brilliantly interpreted by John Faddis, David Snaches, Ignacio Berroa, Alex Acuna, Lalo Schifrin and the WDR Big Band. Recorded in June of 1999.
