Latin Bugalu ... LP Atlantic, 1968. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!
One of Charlie Palmieri's best records from the 60s!

An excellent session – very much in the mode of Eddie's groundbreaking work from the early 70s, when he was mixing together some incredibly complicated piano lines with newer styles of Latin jazz.
