Untouchable
LP (Item 502768) Fania, 1979 -- Condition: Used
Tito Allen almost seems to be borrowing a page from the Willie Colon book with his gangster look on the cover of this one -- and in a way, the record's got the same sense of soaring energy you'd hear in Willie's best post-gangster work from this time! But thanks here are really due to Louie Ramirez, who produced and directed, and gives the record that great mix of jazz and salsa he brought to his own best work -- a sound that's made especially great by the presence of alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones in the lineup next to the trumpets and trombone -- inflecting the music with enough shadings of soul and color to match Tito's own expressive vocals. Arrangements are by Ramirez, Marty Sheller, and others -- and titles include "El Sabio", "Vivan Tus Ojos Verdes", "Guancona", " Para Los Bravos", "Flores Blancas Y Negras", "Busca Ambiente", and "Como Tu Ninguna". © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc. | |||||
