Chico O'farrill's Afro-Cuban Jazz Orchestra

Directed by Arturo O'Farrill:

Arranger-bandleader Arturo “Chico” O’ Farrill, Sr. began introducing Afro-Cuban rhythms into jazz in the 1940’s. The band that bears Chico’s name (and is directed by his son Arturo) “continues to showcase the most seamless blend of clavè rhythm and bebop harmony anywhere.” (Time Out)
