ABOUT THE ZANJA ALL STARS: The thing about Cuban musicians is that one day you'll be blown away by what you think is the greatest tres or trumpet or sax player (or name whatever your instrument) only to discover an even better tres or trumpet or sax player (or whatever) the day after! Such is the enormity of Cuban talent. And such is the premise of all star bands...especially the Cuban ones. In the late 1950's/1960's all star bands were conceived to display the extraordinary talents of known experienced musicians, or in other words the 'creme-de-la-creme'. Bands such as Orquestra Cubana de Musica Moderna or Quinteto Instrumental De Musica Moderna showcased the very best talent Cuba had to offer. Keeping with this tradition Zanja Records assembled the 'best of' the creme-de-la creme ensemble consisting of up and coming as well as seasoned musicians. The journey was not an easy one; Zanja took no prisoners and those musicians, however good they may be, that didn't have the right feel or the right chops were replaced until the perfect permutation and combination was achieved. When the gel of musicianship and songs occurred Cuban Jam Session Volume 1 was recorded. Putting together this great talent and getting the best out of them was successfully achieved by Producer Michael Delanian, himself no novice of the music industry having recorded on numerous releases on international record labels. Delanian extracted the vibrancy, urgency, and the passion required of a world class act as this band of musicians and singers are as good if not better than anything out there now. Delayed by the great pandemic of 2020, Zanja Records chose now (2024) as the right time for their first release. ABOUT ZANJA RECORDS: Label boss Alex Gonzalez doesn't do anything half-baked. He is a professional in all he does and in putting together Zanja Records (originally called Zanja 607 after a once bustling street in Havana) spared no expense, time or effort. Whether it was to import instruments and recording equipment from Canada, the USA or Europe or do business with EGREM or with the Cuban government agencies he maneuvered his way gracefully and along with Michael Delanian got the project up and running to the point where we now have a physical product on the market with more to come. (You are buying the CD version but if you're lucky you will still be able to find the very collectable LP version). IF Music writes: "Record Of The Year Alert!! The most important music to have come out of Cuba in over 50+ years has just dropped: If like us, Buena Vista didn’t quite tick all the boxes u wanted, this is the album we have all been waiting for… Lose your mind in some serious voodoo shizzle."
