"Based on unprecedented research in Cuba, the direct testimonial of scores of Cuban musicians, and the author's unique experience as a prominent jazz musician, Cubano Be, Cubano Bop is destined to take its place among the path-breaking classics of jazz history. The work pays tribute not only to a distinguished lineage of Cuban jazz musicians and composers, but also to the rich musical exchanges between Cuban and American jazz throughout the twentieth century. Cab Calloway, Nat King Cole, Sarah Vaughan, and Dizzy Gillespie are just a few of the great North American musicians who figure prominently in Leonardo Acosta's account of the influence of Cuban music on jazz."--Jacket.
