I don´t know about much Parker playing Afro Cuban. He sit´s in with I think Machito somewhere and it is on a Spotlite LP, mostly with McGhee and Brew Moore. 
And he recorded that "Siesta" , a Verve album, which is not the best thing Bird did.
You say, Woody Herman is on it. 
I think there was some "Bird with the Herd" , an old LP, but it was mostly straight ahead swing, only one number I think was titled "Cuban Holiday", a quite simplified imitation of Cuban influences in the theme, but the solos is in straight fours.....
Is this something that never appeared on record ?

What the connection with this 2015 release on RockBeat Records?

There is nothing new on this CD. On tracks 10-12 Bird does not play with Dizzy.

And there is not much Afro-Cuban content, based on the personnel listings.

From the Plosin Charlie Parker website:

2 Night and Day (C. Porter)2:38

3 My Funny Valentine (R. Rodgers-L. Hart)3:16

The underlying rhythm alternates between a Latin beat and straight fours

4 Cherokee (R. Noble)2:52

5 My Funny Valentine (R. Rodgers-L. Hart)3:27

Again, the rhythm alternates between a Latin beat and straight fours

The Plosin site also says re: the first 3 cuts : " The identity of this group -- and the presence of Parker -- has been disputed, e.g. by Phil Schaap." I'm curious whether board members think it is Bird.

Thanks.  I was referring to tracks having Latin percussion sections vs. those with a drum kit played by a non-Latino.
