Coming Soon: Una Noche con Rubén Blades!
Blue Engine Records is proud to announce our next release: Una Noche con Rubén Blades by the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis featuring Rubén Blades. This record captures a historic 2014 meeting of New York's house band and the nine-time GRAMMY winning singer, songwriter, actor, and activist. For one very special night—music-directed by the JLCO's bassist and "emerging master in the Latin jazz idiom" (DownBeat) Carlos Henriquez—the worlds of salsa and swing collided. The result was a performance that the New York Times called "radically beautiful."
Make sure you'll have Una Noche as soon as it's released on October 19th! Preorder it today from our webstore as a standalone CD featuring a limited-edition maraca. You'll also get a discount to our 2018–19 opening weekend concerts!
