John Beasley / Hernandez , El Negro- El Trio - Live In Italy
El Trio is a dream threesome of some of my favorite musicians, all whom have been in my various bands: Horacio 'El Negro' Hernández, one of the most versatile and in-demand drummers in the history of Cuban music and jazz; José Armando Gola, a great double bass player, composer, and an expert in every sense of the word who can adapt to any style; and John Beasley, a genius pianist, keyboardist, orchestrator, innovator, whose imagination takes me to another galaxy. El Trio's sound is organic, contemporary, and supernova.- Chucho Valdés
