Ignacio Berroa – Codes (CD)

Cuban-born drummer Ignacio Berroa spent years as Dizzy Gillespie's drummer of choice, absorbing bebop at its highest level while never losing his Afro-Cuban roots. *Codes* finds him leading his own session for Blue Note, a label with deep ties to both hard bop and Latin jazz, where those two strands finally converge on his own terms.
