One of a few great 70s albums from Luis Gasca – a funky jazz player, but one who draws on a lot of Latin influences too – all in this sweet soulful mode that echoes some of the hippest Bay Area sounds of the time! Arrangements are done with help from
Joe Gallardo – who also plays trombone on the record – amidst a very hip lineup that includes
Joe Henderson and Hadley Caliman on tenor and flutes, Oscar Brashear and Eddie
Henderson on trumpets, George Duke and Mark Levine on electric piano, David Holland on bass, and Jack DeJohnette on drums! The record includes a great track called "New Orleans Strut", plus the cuts "Dr Gasca", "A Love Supreme", and "I Was Born To Love You".
(Jazz, Latin) (Original 70s pressing. Cover has some wear on the opening edge, but is nice overall – as is vinyl.)
