0:35 Looks like Mario Bauza, center of the sax section on alto (instead of his usual trumpet)....2:20 Definitely Adolphus "Doc" Cheatham on plunger-muted trumpet. Cheatham played with Bauza in the Cab Calloway Orchestras of the 1930's.
The great jamaican Leslie Johnakins on the baritone sax, yes, Mario Bauza on alto sax, (his original instrument in Cuba); "Chocolate" and "Doc" Cheatham on the Tp solos; the percussion line does not look familiar to me, definitely, not Mangual and "Uba" Nieto in it.
My mother took me to the Flamboyan Club in Old San Juan, P.R. where we saw Machito and his Big Band along with a young Celia Cruz.

For Real, professional!!!!!
Can someone identify every musician? Besides the obvious José Madera, Chocolate Armenteros, etc.

@@waldolydecker8118 Awesome. Thank you! Can I asume that’s Ubaldo Nieto, José Mangual and Vidal on percussion?
@@guidolebronbaritone - don't know the others by sight, so can't say.
