From the Isle of Music, June 24-30:
This week, our special guest is Joaquín Betancourt, whose many roles in music in Cuba include the direction of Joaquín Betancourt y su Joven Jazz Band, a big band that is an important ensemble for young Jazzistas in Cuba. We interviewed him in the Conservatorio Amadeo Roldan in La Habana about the new recording Mambazo, and we will listen to some of that.
