I was privileged to attend a rare appearance by Cuban multi-instrumentalist
Bobby Carcassés. Bobby appeared at the Jazz Gallery in NYC, with
an all-star lineup in a band led by virtuoso drummer Dafnis Prieto. The
band consisted of Dafnis Prieto on drums; Osmany Paredas on piano; Yosvany Terry
on sax; Yunior Terry on bass; Marvin Diz on conga; and Bobby Carcassés
on flugelhorn, piano, conga and vocal. A highlight of the evening was Bobby
completing two paintings during the performance of one of the tunes. I
attended the second set, and the place was packed!
