USA: Chucho Valdés , Michel Camilo and Gonzalo Rubalcaba - Playing Leucona (O Keh 2015)

Playing Lecuona
This exclusive performance is a monumental gathering of the three greatest living Caribbean pianists, brought together in tribute to virtuoso pianist and composer Ernesto Lecuona, renowned as one of the most important and influential figures in Cuban music. His 1928 composition “Malagueña” is a timeless classic, having been covered by artists ranging from jazz saxophonist Joe Henderson, Spanish guitar giant Paco de Lucía and big band innovator Stan Kenton to 50s rock icon Ritchie Valens and surf guitar luminary Dick Dale. The composer is the subject of Playing Lecuona, a new documentary film featuring appearances by Valdés, Rubalcaba and Camilo, who reunite for this show performing solo, in duo and as a trio in an acoustic, unamplified setting.
