CD Review: Concierto de Frank Emilio en la Sala del palacio de Bellas Artes (EGREM)
Review by Bill Tilford, All rights reserved


This double CD is a recording of a live 1978 concert at the Sala del Palacio de Bellas Artes in Havana. Frank Emilio and his combo, Grupo Los Amigos are joined by a few special guests.  This is part of EGREM's Cuba En Vivo collection.  An interesting mix of styles unfolds during this concert. For example, the classic Marta is rendered as an almost-straight-ahead Jazz selection.  There are selections by Lecuona and Cervantes (some of the Cervantes compositions are played with four hands by Frank Emilio and Zenaida Romeu).   These are performed in the classic style of the compositions.   The concert closes with a series of Afrocuban classics.
This performance is an excellent showcase for the interrelationships between the Cuban music of composers such as Lecuona, Afrocuban music and Jazz.  It was nominated for a Cubadisco in 2014 in the Música de Archivo category.
