In this video, I present three 78 RPM album sides from the Dizzy Gillespie Orchestra featuring Chano Pozo. Accompanying the music are photos from Wikimedia Commons and also text quotes from Raúl Fernández; I relied on his "Latin Jazz The Perfect Combination/La combinación perfecta" in developing this. I have also included some original album art of the 78s--Manteca and Cubana Be/Cubana Bop (on RCA Victor).
