I brought 4 relatives who were visiting from out of town to see the Buena Vista Social Club at the Hollywood Bowl. Everybody loved the concert; it was a great night of 1950's era Cuban band music. My guests' first night ever at the Hollywood Bowl was a memorable one.Written on Sep 01 2011

An energetic evening for all. My favorite was part was Arturo Sandoval's trumpet and big band. Lots of Latin Jazz lovers were there. I had never seen the Hollywood Bowl so packed.Written on Aug 25 2011
