Altoist Paquito D’Rivera (originally from Cuba) and trumpeter Diego Urcola (born in Argentina) always make for a strong team.
They were guests on an episode of pianist Emmet Cohen’s “Emmet’s Place” podcast, performing Mario Bauza’s “Mambo Inn” with Cohen, bassist Philip Norris, and drummer Kyle Poole.
While the horn players are in fine form, Cohen sounds as if he was from Havana, taking solo honors and playing stirring rhythms behind the other players.
