Paquito D'Rivera - Plays The Music Of Armando Manzanero (2016)

Source & Label: Sunnyside Records

Jazz has a long history of interpreting music from the American songbook. Latin America has just as lofty a collection, many compositions stemming from the tremendous Mexican composer Armando Manzanero. On his latest recording, Paquito & Manzanero, the great woodwind master Paquito D’Rivera illuminates the incredible work of Manzanero in Paquito’s favored idiom, Latin jazz. Along with his fantastic ensemble, featuring members like trumpeter Diego Urcola, drummer Antonio Sanchez and the Manzanero himself, on vocals, D’Rivera shows why Manzanero has been celebrated across the globe, by artists as diverse as Elvis Presley and Tony Bennett.
