In 1957, Cachao recorded in the Panart studios his "Cuban Jam Sessions in Miniature", short descargas which contrasted with the extended jams in the previous "Cuban Jam Session" LPs. The album, credited to "Cachao y su ritmo caliente" ("Cachao and his hot rhythm"), has been described as a "historic recording" with a "classic rhythm section" and "the true salsa musician's bible on record". The same year, Chico O'Farrill directed two descargas, namely "Descarga Número 1" and "Descarga Número 2" with his all-star group, All Stars Cubano, featuring Cachao on bass. O'Farrill's recordings were released by Gema as a single and later included in the multi-artist LP "Los mejores músicos de Cuba" (1959). Cachao continued to record descarga sessions as a leader between 1958 and 1960: "Jam Session with Feeling" (Maype), "Descarga" (Maype), "Cuban Music in Jam Session" (Bonita) and "Descargas con el ritmo de Cachao" (Modiner). At the same time, Cachao recorded sessions of traditional danzones for Ernesto Duarte's label Producciones Duarte, yielding two albums that were distributed by Kubaney: "Con el ritmo de Cachao" (reissued as "Camina Juan Pescao") and "El gran Cachao" (reissued as "Cachao y su Típica Vol. 2"), featuring former members of Arcaño y sus Maravillas. Nonetheless, later in his career he would record many of these danzones ("Avance Juvenil", "Ahora sí", etc.) in an extended, descarga-like format.
