See how they grow in the next sixmonths!" - Gilles Peterson"A hepcat big band given a 21st century London twist with new influences,arrangements and attitude." - Evening Standard An 18-piece Afro-Cuban big band, inspired by the musical melting pot of NYC inthe 1950s, but with the punch and power of a whole host of London's best Latinand jazz musicians . Blowing new life into these compositions, the album is areimagining of some of the finest music from that golden era. From early 1950sRene Hernandez and Tito Puente, through to the 1970s salsa of Rafael Labastaand Orlando Marin, produced and performed with fresh fire. NRO is the brainchild of its artistic director, and the man behind TotalRefreshment Centre and Church of Sound , Lex Blondin . Through a long- heldpassion for jazz, Lex discovered the explosive Afro-Cuban rhythms of mid-1940sNYC via the godfather of Afro-Cuban jazz, Mario Bauza. A time when two musicalworlds collided in a fusion of creativity and energy, jazz luminaries like DizzyGillespie and Charlie Parker joining forces with Cuban greats like Machito andChano Pozo. This vibrant sound was music to dance to and found a home at TheNew York Palladium, a formative space of freedom and expression that was keyto the scene's development. Although dance- focussed in their makeup, those early recordings are not oftenheard in modern club environments and Lex dreamt of retelling their story with acontemporary dynamism . A slice of serendipity followed, as a slot at a newfestival opened up and Lex jumped at the chance to make this idea a reality, an18-piece big band breathing new life into these beloved songs. Enlisting the expertise of some of the capital's finest talent, Lex and co-captainAndy Wood , of Como No fame, put together a world- class line- up of talent.Bringing in Eliane Correa as musical director and bandleader, a fluid andinterchanging 18-piece band was formed. This pure collective joy, shared experience and music you can't help but move to.Tracks:1. Pregon2. Sambaroco3. Mambo Herd4. Fiesta Time5. Para Los Papines6. Sahib & Tito7. Scarlet Mambo Hour8. Papa Boco9. Labasta Llego10. Mambo Rama (Lex Blondin Rework)11. Mango Walk12. Harlem Jamboree
