Recorded in Havana only days before the normalization of relations between Cuba and the United States, Arturo O'Farrill & the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra's follow-up to the Grammy-winning album "The Offense of the Drum" is a powerful statement, a fortuitous juxtaposition of music and current events and featuring top alto saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa. "Cuba: The Conversation Continues" builds upon the conversation started by Dizzy Gillespie and Cuban percussionist Chano Pozo - a musical dialogue that bridged the gap between jazz and Afro-Cuban music. O'Farrill brings top composers from both the U.S. and Cuba to create a dazzling musical tapestry, successfully fulfilling Dizzy's dream of creating "universal music". The album features the "Afro-Latin Jazz Suite" a stunning four-movement masterwork commissioned by The Apollo Theater to celebrate the 65th Anniversary of his father Chico O'Farrill's seminal composition: "The Afro-Cuban Jazz Suite." It was recorded days before the US announced its move to begin normalization of Cuban/American relations; Arturo became an instant spokesperson for cultural communication, with interviews on NPR, Wall Street Journal and more. A release concert will take place at Newport Jazz Festival, one of the world's biggest jazz festivals. Arturo O'Farrill was named the 2015 Jazz Journalist Association's "Pianist of the Year".
