Cotique/Fania, Early 70s. Used ... $18.99
A rootsy little record from the LeBron brothers – one that still has some of the darkly soulful touches of the group's Latin Soul years, but which comes across in a stronger 70s return to tradition mode! The piano of Jose LeBron is still strongly in the lead here – really setting up ... read more CD

Cotique/Get On Down, Late 60s. New Copy (reissue)... $19.99 22.98
Soaring salsa from the mighty Lebron Brothers – a group who first burst on the Latin scene with a strong run of Latin Soul recordings, but who are taking a more straightforward approach here! Yet that change hardly makes any difference, as the Lebrons still have that bold, youthful energy ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Cotique/Fania/Codigo, Early 70s. Used ... $14.99
A stone kicker by the Lebron Brothers – not as all-out Latin soul as the group's first few records, but a heck of a great session nonetheless! The album's got the brothers moving into more of a 70s salsa mode, but still keeping the small combo edge of their earlier albums – singing in ... read more CD

Cotique/Get On Down, Late 60s. New Copy (reissue)... $24.99
Amazing work from the New York underground of the late 60s – an album that's as magical as its title implies! Latin definitely goes psychedelic on this one – burning through a cloud of smoke with a brilliant blend of soul, jazz, and the hipper rhythms of the Spanish Harlem scene at the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Fantasy, Early 60s. Near Mint- ... $4.99
Some of Joe's best work for Fantasy pressed up on one tasty compilation of groovy mambo and cha cha tracks from the late 50s! Joe's Fantasy work was some of his better stuff from the time, and his firey piano is right out front on tracks like "El Baion", "Why Don't You Do Right?" ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Brown label pressing. Cover has a stereo sticker.)
Sunset, Mid 60s. Very Good+ ... $7.99
A solid groover from Joe Loco – cut in a pachanga style, as you'd guess from the title – but like all of his work at the time, the kind of a session that's really driven by his tight work on piano, no matter what the rhythm! Joe's heavy hand on the keys makes any sort of a record a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo pressing. Back cover has some light aging.)
Ansonia, Early 60s. Near Mint- ... $14.99
A pretty lively set of tracks from Joe – handled in his classic mode, with a small percussion combo behind him, and firey piano grooving hard and free right up front!

(Green label pressing with deep groove.)
Columbia, Late 50s. Very Good ... $3.99
Joe and his crazy piano are at the head of another lively set of Latin numbers – piano driven all the way, with some heavy percussion to make things groove! Tracks include "Loco Motion", "Tremendo Cha-Cha-Cha", "Paso Merengue", "Mama Inez", "Baion ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(6 eye pressing with deep groove. Cover has some light aging.)
Tico, Late 50s. Very Good ... $24.99
Seemed like Joe was always in a mambo mood at the time he was making these sides for Tico – but that's A-OK with us, as the record's a corker – tight little grooves in Joe's best percussion/piano format! A few tracks even have some vibes, which makes for a nice sound – and titles ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original black label pressing, with deep groove. Cover has light wear, but no splits and is nice overall.)
Mercury, Late 50s. Very Good ... $14.99
A very nice album of tight hot Latin instrumentals, played by Joe Loco with his tremendous choppy approach to the piano. The title and notes seem to imply that there's a "rockin" sound to this one, but that's only because Joe wails so much, Mercury was trying to align the record with ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Discos Fuentes/Vampi Soul (Spain), 1971. New Copy (reissue)... $20.99
A triple-time killer from the Colombian scene at the start of the 70s – one of those rare gems on Discos Fuentes that had the label setting a new sort of fire on its own, in comparison to the New York Latin generation! In addition to the cumbia tracks you might expect, the set's also got ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Roulette/Pure Pleasure (UK), 1957. New Copy (reissue)... $34.99 44.99
A real corker from Machito – a set that's got a lot more bite and earthy fire than some of his other albums of the 50s – as you might be able to guess from the cover and the title! The record definitely lives up to the Afro-Cuban promise on the front – thanks to very hip ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Grosso! (Spain), Late 30s/1940s/1950s/Early 60s. New Copy 2LP ... $34.99
A great look at the earliest years of Machito – a set that follows him from early Cuban recordings, through bebop experiments on the New York scene of the postwar years, to some of his classic group albums of the 50s! Machito always had a strong ear for the jazzier sides of Latin styles - ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Alma (Puerto Rico), Late 50s/Early 60s. Used ... $6.99
... CD
(Out of print.)
Tico, 1960. Very Good+ ... $29.99
Not necessarily a night "out" with Machito, as the material appears to be all studio recordings – but the album is a good example of the variety of Machito's successful group of the late 50s, and will give you an example of the kinds of tracks they'd run through in a live show. ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Heavy orange label pressing.)
Timeless (Netherlands), 1983. Near Mint- ... $14.99
More recent than Machito's classic recordings, but done with a tight adherence to jazz that really makes the album sparkle! In a way, this set's much more of a no-nonsense Latin jazz affair than many of Machito's sides from the late 50s, 1960s, or 70s – as he's got kind of a back to basics ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
ABC, Late 50s. Very Good ... $19.99
Brassy set of Latin sides recorded by Machito's trumpet player from the old days, Bobby Madera, who's probably best known to the world as the man who wrote "Mambo Inn". That track's on here, and so are the tracks "Mambo Pastel", "Basutoland", "Rhythmambo", ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

EMI (Italy), Early 70s. Used ... Just Sold Out!
The great second album by the Italian group from the seventies that played great Brazilian jazz. Their first album is better known, and the groove's a bit different on this one – because there's an acoustic guitar thrown into the mix, which only seems to deepen the sound – that great ...

Verve, 1959. Used ... $4.99
A gem of a record from a time when flute Mann Herbie was really taking off – a set that shows his growing love of Latin rhythms, which are used to wonderful effect throughout!

Brunswick, Late 60s. New Copy (reissue)... $9.99
A Latin Soul classic – but one that's a lot more obscure than some of the better-remembered albums on Fania and Tico from the late 60s! Orlando Marin is probably mostly known as an arranger, and a leader from the earlier years of the New York scene – but during the Latin Soul years he ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Alegre/Fania, 1964. Used ... $11.99
The best that the New York indie scene had to offer in the 60s – a killer set of short, hard tracks from Orlando Marin! The album features a number of vocalists – Willie Torres, Elliot Romero, Cheo Feliciano, and Chivirico Davila – some of the best of the time, switching off from ... read more CD

Alegre, 1960. New Copy (reissue)... $9.99
A masterpiece of Latin jazz – and one of the truest expressions of the genre we can think of! The album's quite unique, especially for the time – a spare, stripped-down presentation of Latin-influenced jazz – a sound that has its roots in the cubop experiments of a decade before, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Life Force Jazz, 2004. Used ... $5.99
An excellent session of west coast Latin Jazz – and one of the best we've heard in years from legendary percussionist Bobby Matos!

Nucleus, Early 80s. Sealed ... $3.99
A sweet little session from the Bay Area scene – a set that features English and Spanish language vocals from guitarist Memo – plus backing in a mix of funky jazz and clubby soul!
