Tierra En Trance (Venezuelan pressing)

LP (Item 142139) Egrem (Venezuela), Late 70s — Condition: Very Good+
Sweetly complicated work from Irakere – tunes that mix up equal parts jazz and Latin, electric and acoustic! Chucho Valdes heads the group, and plays some mighty nice keyboards – sometimes spacey and stretched out, sometimes a bit more in the groove – as well as some killer acoustic piano too, handled in the firey style he's become known for on these shores over the years. Other instrumentation includes electric guitar, flute, tenor, and trumpet – plus lots of percussion on some of the longer, more driving numbers. Titles include "A Chano Pozo", "Palia", "Las Margaritas", "Tierra En Trance", and "Estela Va A Estelar".  © 1996-2023, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Very Good + (plus)

  • Vinyl should be very clean, but can have less luster than near mint.
  • Should still shine under a light, but one or two marks may show up when tilted.
  • Can have a few small marks that may show up easily, but which do not affect play at all. Most marks of this quality will disappear when the record is tilted, and will not be felt with the back of a fingernail.
  • This is the kind of record that will play "near mint", but which will have some signs of use (although not major ones).
  • May have slight surface noise when played.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Lebron Brothers

Distinto Y Diferente
Cotique, 1976. Very Good-
Distinct and different work from the Lebron Brothers – a great 70s salsa set, but one with some warmly soulful touches too!

Puerto Rico 68

Cadet, 1972. Very Good+
A great Chess Records session from organist Jack McDuff – a set that also features great work on saxes from Red Holloway, Leo Johnson, and David Young – working with jack on a club date in the Bay Area! The vibe is great – very much as groovy and unusual as some of McDuff's Blue ... LP, Vinyl record album
Prestige, 1964. Very Good
A well-titled session – given the strong early groove of organist Don Patterson! At a time when some of his contemporaries were tightening things up on the Hammond, going for shorter tunes aimed at the jukebox and radio crowd, Don Patterson was a great reminder that the organ was best used ...

Coleman Hawkins

Gilded Hawk
Capitol, Mid 50s. Very Good-

An excellent album – possibly the best by German saxophonist Klaus Doldinger!

The style's a bit rougher than later years ... LP, Vinyl record album
