Frank Emilio Flynn - Asi Tocaba El Danzon: Antonio Maria Romeu Music CD

A highly influential musician in his native Cuba, master pianist Frank Emilio Flynn achieved worldwide recognition in the late 1990's, very late in his career - as it spanned nearly seven decades. In his late 70's, the blind pianist was finally recognized as one of the great pioneers of Cuban jazz. This rare, classic album, recorded in Havana in the late 1950's, is Flynn's heartfelt tribute to the pioneering Cuban pianist and bandleader Antonio Maria Romeu, who led Cuba's leading Charanga orchestra for over thirty years, from 1910 to the late 1940's. All selections newly remastered.
