A great lost album from
Pucho & The
Latin Soul Brothers – not classic vintage, despite the front cover image, but an excellent session from the early 90s that still has
Pucho very much at the top of his game! The album's way heavier than some of
Pucho's other material from the period – and only got slight circulation under the title Jungle Strut – as a record that really returns to the vibe of early 70s funky Prestige Records –w ith work from the legendary Pazant
Brothers on horns, plus Melvin Sparks on guitar, Willie Bivens on vibes, and Bernard Purdie on drums! The sound is great – nice and raw, with a real emphasis on Purdie's funk – and titles include "Strange Thing", "Got Myself A Good Man", "
Pucho's Descarga", "
Soul Sauce", and "Bang Bang Lulu".
