Release Notes:

The son of the noted musician Bebo Valdes, Chucho began
playing piano when he was three and by the time he was 16
he was leading his own group. In 1960 his father defected
from Cuba but Chucho stayed behind. In 1967, he formed the
Orquesta Cubana de Musica Moderna and, in 1973, he founded
Irakere, the top Cuban jazz orchestra; among its original
members were Arturo Sandoval and Paquito D'Rivera. Valdes
has been Irakere's musical director almost from the start
and has recorded with the full band, in small groups, and
as an impressive solo pianist. He remains one of the top
jazz musicians living in Cuba.
