Good, but not Irakere!
The first track, "Rimsky" is fantastic, but this is Arturo 2.0, his U.S. sound. This is well worth a download, as Arturo is a fantastic trumpeter and this is a great example of his early work here in the U.S., BUT - if you want some really great Arturo, download a few Irakere sessions (all on eMusic, I might add :-) and hear him work with some of the greatest musicians in the world. Like all trumpeters, he is spurred to greatness when challenged by horn soloists of comparable abilities, and although the rhythm section here is superb by any standard, there is no Paquito D'Rivera to make him really get after any of his solos.
