I seem to like Cuban music best in big band form. This is very good. My wife (one quarter Cuban–one half Irish, one quarter English) likes this too.

Bobby Timmons must have hated that piano. bad mechanics and out of tune. Roland Hanna had the better chops to cope with that machine. Contrary to Cuscuna's notes on this 1987 CD reissue, I do not think that ths is one of Burrell's best.

What a paralel !!!! Same here. My younger kid also heard his first Miles "WE WANT MILES" and dug it so much. Later I let him hear also some old Miles (Miles in the Sky or something like that) and later "Agharta", all of them great. 

He´s been living for many many many years in Spania but when he come´s by here, he sometimes: "spin some Miles, pops" and we listen....
