Rumbajazz : Tribute To Chombo (2000)

"As fate would have it, before the making of Tribute to Chombo, a stroke ended Chombo’s career (his real name was José Silva). To their credit, the González Brothers (Jerry González and Andy Gonzáles) went ahead with the project and brought in saxophonist David Sánchez, who does an admirable job “sitting in” for Chombo and capturing his sound and spirit. The CD consists mostly of songs Chombo previously recorded Chombo Silva never received the recognition he deserved during his lifetime, but he is a legend among his peers and aficionados. Tribute to Chombo does much to breath new life into the tunes Chombo was known for and introduces his music to a new generation of listeners." (Latinjazznet)
