Search - Jason Lee Bruns :: Egrem Session

On August 2nd 2008, Jason Lee Bruns arrived in Havana, Cuba under a professional research visa. Challenging and exciting, his one-month journey began. He spent the days refining local drumming styles at the Conjunto Folklórico National and the evenings immersing himself in the live music at Havana s most known (and most unknown) venues. The culmination of his experiences resulted in the opportunity to produce an ensemble of Cuba s stars. Recording on a half-broken rented drum set (delivered in a side-car during the pouring rain) at the famous Egrem Studio 101; Jason produced this Cuban-jazz version of a descarga by the late blind Cuban pianist Frank Emilio: Gandinga, Mondongo y Sandunga. Enjoy this recording as Jason shares with you his unique experience, the nostalgia of the people, y el amor de la música.
