Description

A recording that reveals the artistic maturity of these two masters of Jazz and Cuban music and world class musicians.

Featuring Ramón Valle (piano) Orlando ''Maraca'' Valle (flute). At a time when Cuban music - the great art of the island
involves a considerable amount of dissonance, when the timba,
the Cuban version of salsa, campaigns to recapture those
spheres of recognition and attention, the requéton (damned,
diluted but still exceptionally powerful) sustains itself and is one
of the fields in which some of Cuba's most creative musicians
finally made it and opened up the international market - an
achievement which was formerly out of reach, the two cousins,
Ramón and Orlando ''Maraca'' Valle go aboard their small,
homely but comfortably equipped boat to go against the tide,
or to follow the stream which was theirs from the beginning.


It is what makes ''The Art of Two'' an uncommon, though
quite predictable, CD. Uncommon, because it simply aspires to
what it is, regardless of further ambitions: great music, wellperformed
and without showing off or modifying it to meet
the regional conditions of the market. Predictable, because,
in accordance with the accomplishments and careers of both
pianist Ramón Valle and flautist Orlando Valle (first cousins, in
case you didn't know) nothing less than a musical lusciousness
was to be expected.


This is the reason why ''The Art of Two'' is not only a testimony
which discloses the artistic maturity of the two masters of jazz
and Cuban music, but which is also a clear indication of how
premium jazz may arise, while by-passing any stereotypes and
simplifications and starting from the base of an essential and
generally accepted Cubania, which evolves into a universal and
contemporary lushness of sound.
