  39th ANNUAL GRAMMY™ AWARD WINNER  
Best Latin Jazz Album
The compositions on this CD encompass approximately 100 years of Cuban music, ranging from Jose White to D'Rivera. …

It was a privelege to write for and work with this magnificent virtuoso band, fronted by the amazingly musical Paquito D'Rivera. When David and Norman Chesky approached me to do this project, I knew that it would represent a great challenge. What I didn't know then was what a joyful experience this project would turn out to be. - Carlos Franzetti
