The legendary conga player, now at the age of 92, is still making heads turn and bodies move with his masterful command of his instruments. Candido, by way of his spectacular showmanship and rapport with audiences and his unique style of tuning his three conga drums so that he is able to play simple melodies, has transformed the conga drum into an international instrument used in all genres of music.
Since then, Candido has become an important star in the jazz world, as well as the Afro Cuban genre, performing and recording with Machito’s Afro Cubans, Billie Holiday, Billy Taylor, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington, Stan Kenton, and recently with Tony Bennett. The list goes on and on. In 2008 he received the National Endowment for the Arts’ Jazz Masters Award.
Part of the Chesky Binaural + Series, all recorded with a single microphone, the band appear right before you with this spacious, lush and multi-dimensional recording. Now headphone users will hear the same three-dimensional sound and imaging as audiophiles have for the past 25 years with Chesky Recordings. Also these new Binaural+ Series albums capture even more spatial realism for the home audiophile market, bringing you one step closer to the actual event. You will hear some of the most natural and pure conga drums ever recorded.
