Ninety miles is the distance separating Cuba from the US. After much hassle, these three US-based jazz musicians got to play with their Cuban counterparts in Havana and this is the result. It's well known that standards are ferociously high in Cuba, and the sheer sophistication of the musical dialogue is hugely impressive. Scott, a New Orleans-born trumpeter of eclectic style, actually sounds more New Orleansish in this context, while Harris's vibraphone and marimba fit beautifully alongside the Cuban percussion. Sánchez, always an exciting saxophonist, rises to the peak of his form.
