The Cuban<br />
Voyage of<br />
Ninety Miles<br />
By Ken Micallef // Photos by Jimmy and Dena Katz<br />
Springtime in Cuba feels like the dog days<br />
of the worst Louisiana summer. In Havana,<br />
decaying architecture drips with humidity.<br />
Flora rarely seen in the United States blossom<br />
with energy created by extreme sunshine. The<br />
locals survive through a combination of honor and<br />
ingenuity, perhaps awaiting Fidel Castro’s demise<br />
or the frequently rumored, always expected U.S.<br />
invasion—though today that invasion is more likely<br />
to come in the form of dollars (or Chinese yuan) than<br />
boots on the ground. Into this world of political fog,<br />
musical tradition and searing heat came three jazz<br />
musicians and a novel concept.
