Playing Lecuona - Chucho Valdes, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Michel Camilo

Ernesto Lecuona y Casado (August 6, 1895 - November 29, 1963) was a Cuban composer and pianist. He wrote over 600 songs for film and television and was nominated for an Oscar for "Always in my hart". The film About Ernesto Lecuona is an impressive portrait of the musician. Three of the world's best Latin jazz pianists take the listener on a musical journey through the life and work of Emesto Lecuona on the accompanying soundtrack. Chucho Valdes sheds light on Lecuona's native Havana and combines jazz with Afro-Cuban rhythms. Michael Camilo creates the elegant New York sound and Gonzalo Rubalcaba from Seville contributes Latin jazz and flamenco.
