The co-leaders are joined by a superb band: pianist Danilo Perez, acoustic guitarist Fareed Haque, bassist David Finck, drummer Mark Walker, and Giovanni Hidalgo on conga. The group mostly performs originals plus a couple Chucho Valdes songs, \"Body and Soul\" (a showcase for Sandoval) and Dizzy Gillespie's \"Tanga.\" Plenty of fireworks occur on this consistently heated Afro-Cuban jazz set and the co-leaders clearly inspire each other. When will they have their next reunion?\" -Scott Yanow, AllMusic\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Messidor","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50459726807371,"sku":"2004622","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/418467111769_360_806c497a_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727226720","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/reunion-2","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
