Chico O’Farrill’s Afro-Cuban Jazz Orchestra

Arranger-bandleader Arturo “Chico” O’ Farrill, Sr. began introducing Afro-Cuban rhythms into jazz in the 1940’s. The band bearing Chico’s name (directed by his son Arturo) “continues to showcase the most seamless blend of clavè rhythm and bebop harmony anywhere.” (Time Out)
