Listener Reviews & Comments
If you close your eyes and listen to this album, you would be convinced there are at least four hands on the piano at any moment. You would be wrong, of course, since this is a solo piano album by the Cuban legend Bebo Valdes. Not only that, it's his debut solo album, at the young age of 88. As he plays through one traditional track after another, it becomes clear that the piano is his vehicle for nostalgia - it is easy to imagine these sounds coming straight from a Havana night club in the 1950s. I would hesitate to compare him to the late Ruben Gonzalez, as Bebo is a bit less florid and this album is less improvisational than Gonzalez's work, but there's no doubt that he is of the same technical caliber. All the tracks are excellent - I especially like his renditions of La Bella Cubana (tk 6) and Tres Lindas Cubanas (tk 9).
