Torres, Juan Pablo
Cuba Disco
Juan Pablo Torres was one of the acclaimed trombone players in the Latin-jazz community of the second half of the 20th century. He was the director of Algo Nuevo and a member of Irakere, two of the leading exponents of Afro-Cuban jazz in the 1970's and 1980's. He has also directed various Cuban supergroups such as Estrellas de Areito and Cuban Masters. `Cuba Disco' was his only album released under his own name in Europe, recorded in Milan in 1984. Accompanied by his faithful Gruppo Algo Nuevo, and featuring guests such as Italian jazz guitarist Angelo Arienti, his traditional Afro-Cuban vein is contaminated by disco and balearic moments.
