History Was Made In Cuba

When two great trumpet players get together, something will definitely happen, and it did when Dizzy performed a concert in Cuba with a very young Arturo many years ago.

Equally talented on this concert was the baritone sax player who I do not know. If anyone can help me out with his name, please let me know.

For the younger players, this is a very good example of what we refer to as “Smokin”!
