Paquito D'Rivera with Arturo Sandoval —
Reunion ... CD Messidor, 1990. Used ...
Out Of Stock
A great set of Latin-tinged jazz – and the first recording that Paquito D'Rivera and Arturo Sandoval had made together in many years! The set's got the angular groove of Paquito's best work of the early 80s – tight Latin jazz, with plenty of percussion at the bottom – played out over longer tracks that allow plenty of space for him and Sandoval to solo, and which also feature piano by Danilo Perez and guitar by Fareed Haque. Titles include "Tanga", "Latin American Suite", "Claudia", "Body & Soul", "Reunion", and "Friday Morning". (Jazz, Latin)CD

The set features Torres working with an all-star cast that includes Arturo Sandoval, Chucho Valdes, Steve Turre, and others – sliding through a host of well-crafted instrumentals that are the very essence of Latin jazz. Tracks are long, solo room is great, and titles include "Salt & Pepper", "Ache", "When Day Breaks", "Slide Force", "All Rhythm Ahead", "Blowing Up", and "Yunfa". CD

(Mono green label pressing with deep groove. Cover has a cut corner, tiny peel spot from sticker removal, spot of marker on the back.)
Noro Morales turns his rich talents to a set of merengue tracks – but the style's a lot different than you'd expect from the later sound of the genre! Instead, these cuts have a sly sinister sound, with kind of a snakey approach that adds a nice element to the music, and which keeps things in a lively 50s Latin mode. Tracks include "Tropical Merengue", "Lo Casaron", "Dona Ramona", "Siren", "The Twins", and "Can't Help It". LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono pressing with deep groove. Cover has clear tape on all seams, tiny peel spot from sticker removal, aging, some pen on the back.)
