pryso, excellent account of the music and the players at the Mingus Dynasty concert. I agree with you about Cruz. Fantastic drummer. If you like modern jazz with a dose of Latin check out his work with pianist Danilo Perez; excellent. Interesting observation about the two Russian born players. I would say that a few decades ago there was some truth to the stereotype about jazz players from Europe and the East (with some exceptions, of course). But I think it is no longer the case and it’s a testament to the fact that jazz is gaining popularity and not going anywhere. Glad you liked the show.
