Free Music Review: Farewell to Ruben Gonzalez
Hit: 5 Stars
On Monday, December 8, 2003, Ruben Gonzalez died at the unregretful age of 84. Farewell to an unbelievably charismatic and talented musician! His death is the sad realistic reminder that as great musicians like him grow old and die, so does a priceless era of music that will never be emulated.Free Music Review: APPLAUSE!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
I first heard the music in this CD in a Jazz bar. The Saturday night crowd was awe-struck, and fell silent for half a minute. Then some waved to order cigars and rum cocktails. This is not an album in the "commercially packaged" sense, but truly a celebration of Life's splendour.Free Music Review: Outstanding swing
Hit: 5 Stars
What utter confidence Gonzalez plays with. His touch on the keys is so light, yet so authoritative. You hear 50 years of jazz history -- and not just Afro-Cuban jazz history -- with every note. The guy can swing, and at any speed. Marcus Roberts needs to listen to this disk very closely.Free Music Review: amazing pianist
Hit: 5 Stars

Hit: 5 Stars
Ruben Gonzalez plays a number of styles from the 30s through the 50s, including son, danzon, and guaracha. He plays with a passion and freshness missing in may overpracticed and overrecorded albums. His style, precision, and bravado make this a joy to listen to.
