(5 out of 5 stars)
"Jesus Maria ("Choo Choo")Sanroma used to stay at our home in Coconut Grove (Miami), Florida..when on tour. My father was a Baldwin Piano dealer and Choo Choo was a Baldwin artist...and they were fast friends. He was master of the great Baldwin SD-10 concert grand piano. Both Jose Iturbi and Artur Rubenstein told my father that Sanroma was probably the best of all of them.
Unfortunately, his Gershwin tours, which were astounding, allowed illiterate classical snobs to discount his talents. However, within this album you will experience the fire and passion of this amazing artist. A great & kind man. And from, proudly, Purto Rican parentage."
