About

Saxophonist/composer Paul Carlon presents a “Latin-side-of” reimagining of Billy Strayhorn's classic works. Carlon's 2013 CD Release on Zoho Music, La Rumba is a Lovesome Thing, takes a whimsical look at an alternate reality wherein Strayhorn grew up a rumbero on the streets of Havana. With a mix of Afro-Cuban guaguancó, mambo, batá, bolero, Puerto Rican bomba, and Argentinian zamba, the album tears through ten Strayhorn gems.
