Album Notes & Community Reviews

Compiling monumental sessions featuring guest soloists Charlie Parker and Flip Phillips, this release documents the explosive intersection of bebop and Afro-Cuban rhythms. Machito's Afro-Cubans provide an incredibly dense, polyrhythmic foundation over which the legendary saxophonists execute blistering, modern improvisations. 'Jazz With Flip and Bird' is an essential milestone in the evolution of integrated Latin jazz.
