Jazz musicians have been fascinated by the rhythms of Cuban music since at least the 1940s, when be-bop star Dizzy Gillespie formed a band which included Afro-Cuban drummer Chano Pozo. This time it's the other way round: jazz drummer Billy Cobham - who's worked with greats including Miles Davies – is collaborating with modern Cuban son band Asere.
They're playing St David's Hall on October 4th. There's a dancefloor, and a discount (£12.50 instead of £16) for salsa dancers who quote 'Salsa Attender' when they book. Should be an interesting evening.
