David Chesky - The New York Descargas 86
Pianist David Chesky gives us a taste of Cuban Diaspora on The New York Descargas. Descargas are improvised jam sessions consisting of variations of Cuban music themes. Chesky forms a trio with conguero Giovanni Hidalgo and bassist John Benitez. The music has the lively pulse of Cuba with mostly upbeat, syncopated tunes like “Descargas No. 7 & 8”, along with the relaxed paced on “Descarga No. 5”. Benitez and Hidalgo are outstanding on “Descartes No. 12” and this session is steaming end to end. The audio quality is also very good.
