A fantastic 70s session from Charlie Palmieri – featuring some of his best keyboard solos of the decade, and some very cool work on organ that almost makes us think Sun Ra is in the group!

Live In Quad (remastered edition) ... CD Fania, 1974. Used ... $24.99
The "quad" here seems to be mostly conceptual – but the "live" part of the set is definitely in place! The album's a real stormer – one of the best mid 70s sides from Larry Harlow's excellent group, recorded in front of a small but enthusiastic crowd, and done with ... read more CD

Roberto Roena Y Su Apollo Sound 5 ... CD International, 1973. Used ... $24.99
The mighty Apollo Sound combo at the height of their powers – hard-hitting on percussion, but also sparkling with some jazzier touches on tenor sax, flute, and trombone!

Hector Lavoe —
El Sabio (remastered edition) ... CD Fania, 1980. Used ... $14.99
Hector Lavoe's vocals are wrapped tightly and beautifully here in Willie Colon production – and the album's one of the classics from the pair recorded at the height of Lavoe's solo career! The sound is tight and dynamic, but never too over the top – and although Lavoe's vocals are ... read more CD

Gusto ... LP Fania, 1980. Used ... Just Sold Out!
A wonderful record from Jimmy Sabater, and proof that he was still Soul Brother Number 1 in Latin Music, even at the end of the 70s!

Look I'm Doing The Cha-Cha ... LP ABC, Late 50s. Very Good ... $39.99

La Protesta —
Free ... CD Rico, 1971. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Great stuff! One of the excellent early albums from the group La Protesta – a hard-hitting combo that carries the youthful Latin sound of the 60s into the salsa generation – and which also features the leadership of Tony Pabon, who'd cut some great work a few years before! Pabon's ... read more CD

Live At Yankee Stadium Vol 1 ... CD Fania, 1975. Used ... $5.99
By the mid 70s, the New York Latin scene was boomin' so large it could easily fill venues like Yankee Stadium – as you'll hear on this excellent live set from the Fania All-Stars, a monster record that easily ranks with the best live Latin sides of the time – like Eddie Palmieri at Sing ... read more CD

Macondo —
Macondo ... LP Atlantic, 1972. Sealed ... $14.99
A blend of soulful styles from the mighty Macondo! This self-titled set is pretty hip batch of tracks – sort of a mixture of early 70s LA Latin funk, with some lighter elements of Brazilian music, possibly added into the record by Claudio Slon, who produced the set for Sergio Mendes. The ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a cutout notch.)
Machito —
Best Of/Tico, 1974. Sealed ... $14.99
Compilation of classic early stuff by Machito, back when Mario Bauza was playing trumpet, and acting as his music director.

Eddie Palmieri ... LP Barbaro, 1981. Used ... Just Sold Out!
One of the most sophisticated sessions by Eddie Palmieri from the time – and one of the most deeply emotive as well!

Eddie Palmieri —
Sueno ... LP Capitol/Intuition, 1989. Near Mint- ... $14.99
An excellent session – very much in the mode of Eddie's groundbreaking work from the early 70s, when he was mixing together some incredibly complicated piano lines with newer styles of Latin jazz. The album's about half vocal, half instrumental – with a very strong jazz component that's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Ray Barretto —
Irresistible ... LP Fania, 1989. Sealed ... $9.99
Ray Barretto's not looking too "irresistible" on the cover of this one – thanks to a too-white costume and sock-less espadrilles – but the record's still a great one, with a nicely jazzy vibe throughout! The album was Ray's last for Fania, but it's by no means a contract-fille ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Willie Colon declares Ruben Blades as the champ on the cover of this early solo set – and for good reason too, as the album's one of Blades' best!

Hector Lavoe —
Comedia (180 gram pressing) ... LP Fania, 1978. New Copy (reissue)... $20.99 22.98
A hokey cover but a really classic album from Hector Lavoe – one of his biggest records of the 70s, and a great mix of modes that showcases the full range of his talents!

Willie Colon & Ruben Blades —
Last Fight ... CD Fania, 1982. Used ... Just Sold Out!
A compelling later collaboration between Willie Colon and Ruben Blades – recorded as the soundtrack for a film that starred Blades as a boxer and Colon as his shady manager!

Ralfi Pagan ... LP Fania/Get On Down, Late 60s. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
The first album by the king of falsetto Latin soul! Ralfi sang in a beautiful souful way that presaged the style that most of the later east coast male vocal groups would take up, with lots of high notes, and a good weepy sound – alternating lyrics in Spanish and English. Nice Latin ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Afro-Cuban Jazz Moods ... LP Pablo, 1975. Very Good+ ... $7.99
A great Dizzy Gillespie Latin session recorded during the mid 70s – proof that he could still hold onto the cubop spirit of the old days!
