Another soulful set of jazz standards that pairs the great Lorez with a group led by Gildo Mahones.

A great album from the late 70's, featuring the excellent jazz vocalist backed by a totally tight group led by Gildo Mahones.

One of the most hard-hitting Latin albums from the 50s on RCA – a set released with jokey liner notes from Frank Jacobs of Mad, next to some Jack Davis cartoons – but a set that's got smoking percussion, great horns, and even some very cool use of vibes! (Latin) LP, Vinyl record album

Hammond player Jim Alfredson works here in a setting that's nicely full and rich – one that mixes his sharp work on the organ with just the right sort of horn contributions – in a mode that's got some of the best energy of the Lonnie Smith or Lou Donaldson late 60s organ years on Blue ...
