Editorial review
This album is actually a re-release of a recording by trombonist Generoso "El Tojo" Jim?nez and his orchestra in Havana's famous EGREM Studios in late 1965. By that time, Cuba had already weathered the revolution, the missile crisis, and sweeping reforms throughout the music industry, yet El Tromb?n Majadero draws heavily on the whimsical and glamorous style of the great orchestras of pre-Revolutionary Cuba. The album titles translates loosely to "the naughty trombone," so it's not surprising that the album focuses as much on lighthearted arrangements and compositions as it does on Jim?nez's mastery of his instrument. Examples of this flamboyant approach are songs like the farcical "Llegaron del Otro Mundo" ("They Came From Another World") and "Descarga Solfeando" (Solfage Jam), where the only words are the "do, re, mi..." musical scale. But the music is at the heart of this album's quality, and a truly simplified Cuban big band album like this has been noticeably lacking in the more recent resurgence of Cuban music. Even though the album was remastered in the states before its release, it still retains a big, live sound that is very reminiscent of the breezy, thumping recordings of Prez Prado's or even Roberto Faz's orchestras in the first half of the century. ~Nathan Thornburgh , All Music Guide
Bio / Background
In Que Bueno Baila Usted ("How Good You Dance"), the very famous Benny Moré song, the singers call out "Generoso how good you play!" Every Cuban knows whom they are singing about: Generoso Jiménez, star of the Benny Moré Big Band and the most celebrated trombonist in the history of Cuban music.
El Trombon Majadero is Generoso's one recording as a bandleader. Out of print for many years, it is a classic that Cuban trombonists use as a model in their education,sharing worn-out records and imitating the well known phrases.
In April 1955, Generoso joined Benny Moré as an arranger and composer, section leader and soloist. He remained in the band until June 1959. Even after this he helped Benny with arrangements and musical details. Generoso's own band existed from November 1963 until September 1965. He finished his career as part of the prestigious orchestra of the Cuban Institute of Radio and Television.
We translate El Trombon Majadero as "The Naughty Trombone.
