Grammy-nominated Cuban guitarist/composer Juan-Carlos Formell re-ignites the connections between Havana and New Orleans in his explosive recording, "Johnny's Dream Club". Joined by the renowned New Orleans clarinetist Dr Michael White, Formell and an all-star Latin quartet map the territory where Cuban music and jazz converge to form a new sound -- Intense, lyrical, dangerously dream-like.
"Juan-Carlos Formell continues to open new doors for a pan-Latin sound: Cuban song forms working as a fulcrum to create tunes without boundaries. David Byrne and Caetano Veloso have used this approach -- yet Formell adds a technical brilliance and sense of grounding." - VARIETY
