Sun Of Latin Music

Add to Cart$16.99 ... LP
LP (Item 3784) Coco, 1974 -- Condition: Very Good+

A seminal bit of 70s Latin from Eddie Palmieri -- a rull, rich session that really earns its "sun" title! Eddie's working here in that complicated approach to jazzy rhythms from the later Tico years -- inflected by a bit of straighter salsa rhythms -- in a style that proved that it never hurt to put a bit of intellectual approach in the grooves! The album's got one wonderful standout track in the 14 minute long "Una Dia Bonita" -- a massively complex number that initially features some really dark, spare piano -- but then has Eddie stretching out a highly progressive groove. Players on the set include Victor Paz, Ronnie Cuber, and Jose Rodriguez -- and the album also features a bit of vocals from Lalo Rodriguez. Other tracks include "Mi Cumbia", "Nada De Ti", "Deseo Salvaje", and "Nunca Contigo". (Cover has a "Grammy Award Winner" sticker.)  © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc.
