Pete Terrace challenges Pete Rodriguez for the title of "King Of The Boogaloo" in this live set recorded at Chez Jose in New York! The album's got a few tracks that say boogaloo, but which aren't – but that's still ok with us, because the bulk of the set is a hard grooving batch of uptempo groovers that would make anyone proud – and the record's easily one of Pete's best from the 60s! Includes covers of "El Pito", "At The Party", and "Bang Bang" – plus Marty Sheller-penned originals like "Do The Boogaloo", "I'm Gonna Make It", "Here Comes Pete", and "No! No! No!". Pete's vibes sound mighty nice, and the pianist in the group is nice and firey!

One of the most obscure albums ever cut by Latin vibes genius Pete Terrace – and one of the best, too! The album's got a great mix of jazzy and soulful influences – a sound that's a fair bit groovier than some of Pete's other, earlier records – with a hard swinging on most numbers, thanks to plenty of heavy piano, timbales, and vibes! A number of tracks have vocals in choro style, but the main focus here is instrumental – almost creating a mini-descarga sort of vibe at times, and a Latin Soul groove at others. Titles include "Now", "Carmela", "What", "Arw", "Deadalus", "Hi", "Walkin", "Zee Pee", "Mio", and "Fiebre De Tu Amor".
