Curtis, Zacai - Cubop Lives!

Cubop is primarily a bebop composition with Afro-Cuban elements in the rhythm section. In the least, the composition might have to "lean" more towards the bebop side of this musical fusion. Dizzy Gillespie and Chano Pozo with George Russell's "Cubana-Be Cubana-Bop", along with "Manteca", "Tin Tin Deo" (1947) became the first examples and inspired artists to create new paths.
