Son de Brooklyn weds the great Cuban sounds of the “La época de oro” (1930s-1950s) to the advances of American jazz during roughly the same period, when La Habana and New York were arguably the two most important global centers of Latin music and jazz, respectively. The band features jazz-influenced arrangements of both classic and nearly-forgotten Cuban sones, rumbas, boleros, and cha-cha-chas as well as a host of original material in these and other styles.
