Blue Note debut for GRAMMY-winning composer, bandleader, and pianist Arturo Oâ??Farrill. The album finds Oâ??Farrill leading a colorful 10-piece assemblage he calls The Afro-Latin Jazz Ensemble, a scaleddown edition of his renowned Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra. The program encompasses two inspired multimovement suites that Oâ??Farrill has conceived in collaboration with the Cuban Malpaso Dance Company: â??Despedida,â? a meditation on farewells, and â??Dreaming in Lions,â? inspired by Ernest Hemingwayâ??s novella The Old Man and the Sea. -
