Product Review

Digitally remastered two-fer containing a pair of classic Jazz albums on one disc. Includes Ray Barretto's complete original LP Latino! One of his earliest albums as a leader, it recreates in the studio the spirit of a Latin jam session, known as a descarga, featuring great Latin players such as José Chombo Silva on tenor sax, Alejandro El Negro Vivar on trumpet, Willie Rodríguez on percussion and, of course, Barretto on congas. As a bonus, we have added Eddie Lockjaw Davis' complete LP Afro-Jaws, taped the previous year, which couples the saxophonist with a Latin rhythm section conducted by Barretto. Malanga.
