Panart The Complete Cuban Jam Sessions (5-CD Box Set)

Reissued together as a set in their entirety here for the first time, the five volumes of Panart Records' Cuban Jam Session albums were released over a span of almost a decade, from 1956-1964. Featuring an all-star line-up including Julio Gutiérrez, Niño Rivera, José Fajardo, and Cachao. Together, these albums encapsulate a stylistic and historic panorama of Cuban music, from big band son montuno to Afro-Cuban rumba, mambo, cha-cha-cha and country acoustic guajira music, at the same time that they attest to Cuba’s long relationship with popular American music and jazz.
