Taste Of Cano ... LP GNP/Crescendo, Late 50s. Very Good- ...
$11.99
Excellent stuff! Although Eddie Cano cut a lot of pop-Latin piano records, this hard jazzy groover is a firey bunch of instrumentals that stands as one of his best records ever! The set's got a tight west coast group that includes a tight trumpet frontline, plus timbales, bass, and congas – ... (Latin) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Mono red label pressing with deep groove. Cover has creases on the glossy finish, a small split on the bottom seam, and some aging.)
An obscure west coast session by Machito – recorded at the Crescendo night club in LA , but done in the same hard style as Machito's groundbreaking New York sides of the time. Graciela sings vocals on a few cuts, and Machito and the trio sing on a few more – but the other half of the ... (Latin) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Orange label pressing. Cover has small splits in the top seam and spine.)
Fairly standard work from Machito, with a number of vocal cuts that feature either Machito or Graciela – but a record that really shines in the jazzy moments! These cuts include a version of "Pent-Up House", with a sax solo by Aaron Sachs, a reading of "Tenderly" with a ... (Latin) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(60s red label stereo pressing. Cover has light wear and notes in pen on the back.)
A grand connection from David Matthews – one of the keyboardist's fusion sets for the Japanese Electric Bird label, who gave Matthews a great showcase for his electric grooves in the 80s! The sound here is kind of an extension of the funky electric big band sides that Matthews scored for ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

With Sanborn on alto, Michael Brecker on tenor, and Ronnie Cuber on baritone; plus David Spinozza on electric guitar, Don Grolnick on electric piano, Cliff Carter on synthesizer, Neil Jayson on electric bass, Andy Newmark on drums, and Sammy Figueroa on percussion. (Jazz) LP, Vinyl record album
Seminal session that was virtually one of the only west coast attempts to replicate the famous "cubop" mix of bebop and Latin that had been evolving over the years in the New York scene. Machito percussionists like Jose Mangual and Ubaldo Nieto join a west coast group that includes alto ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

One of the great fake live albums of the 60s – a set that promises to be a concert performance from the title and cover, but which actually just features The Seeds playing live together in the studio! Yet that little trick is hardly a problem – because the album's the last-ever from ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Sunny and swinging – an overlooked Capitol Records treasure from George Shearing – and one with a group that really helped set the sound of groovy jazz in the 60s! The players here are all wonderful – Emil Richards on vibes, Toots Thielemans on guitar, and Al McKibbon on bass ... (Jazz) read moreCD
A perfect example of why the Charlie Ventura group was one of the most popular live acts on the west coast scene of it's day!
