Cubano be, Cubano bop : one hundred years of jazz in Cuba

Leonardo Acosta (Author)
"Based on unprecedented research in Cuba, the direct testimonial of scores of Cuban musicians, and the author's unique experience as a prominent jazz musician, Cubano Be, Cubano Bop is destined to take its place among the path-breaking classics of jazz history. The work pays tribute not only to a distinguished lineage of Cuban jazz musicians and composers, but also to the rich musical exchanges between Cuban and American jazz throughout the twentieth century
