D’Rivera, Paquito / Valdes, Chucho – I Missed You Too! [CD]

Description

In 1962, two of the most influential and talented instrumentalists that Cuba ever produced were brought together. Saxophonist/clarinetist Paquito D’Rivera was invited to hear pianist Chucho Valds at a local club in his Marianao neighborhood of South Havana. The two soon became a musical partnership that helped shape jazz in Cuba. Their paths would separate in 1980 when D’Rivera left Cuba. // Sixty years after their initial meeting, the pair has finally reunited to create a monumental new recording. Their I Missed You Too! Marks D’Rivera and Valds’s first recording since they were both members of Cuba’s most influential jazz/fusion ensemble, Irakere.
