Additional information
Personnel: Arturo Sandoval (trumpet); Jorge L. Chicoy, Ahmed Barroso (guitar); Hilario Durán (keyboards); Jorge Reyes (bass guitar); Bernardo Garcia (drums); Reinaldo Valera (percussion). This twofer combines a pair of early-1980s Cuban-era albums by the master trumpeter Arturo Sandoval, both of which demonstrate the musician's technical dexterity (particularly on a scorching version of George Gershwin's "Summertime"), his stylistic variation (encompassing a meditation on a Chopin mazurka and the rock ballad "Yo Nunca Volvere A Amar De Esta Manere a.k.a. "I'll Never Love This Way Again"), and, on the beautiful "El Dia Que Me Quieras," his fluid romanticism.
