by
Hermeto Pascoal
Not strictly a jazz album in the strict sense (it was originally issued as part of the Masters of MPB on LP in 1977), Slaves Mass has strong compositional themes among its seven tracks. The maestro Hermeto Pascoal plays everything from flutes, soprano saxophone, guitar, Fender Rhodes, acoustic piano and clavinet on this set, and enlists help ...

by
Sin Bandera
Two frontmen with boatloads of star potential. Two mega-producers in the booth. Two hugely successful records to their credit. With the fates conspiring, Manana had really only one way to go. In the Latin pop world, this release definitely takes more to the pop side, less the Latin. To the naked ear, the only thing Latino about this record is the ...

Willie Bobo's Finest Hour

by
Willie Bobo
There are compilations and there are compilations. Verve's Finest Hour series has, generally speaking, been consistent in producing collections with artists' best performances from the label -- with the possible exception of the Ramsey Lewis volume, which sucks. This set by Nuyorican percussion and arranging ace Willie Bobo is arguably the best ...

by
Various Artists
If you really sit down and think about how much amazing music there is in the world, you'll start to realize that you have only been exposed to a surprisingly miniscule percentage of it. Up until this album's release in April of 2006, the songs on Panama! Latin, Calypso and Funk on the Isthmus 1965-1975 had never been released outside of their ...

Los Zafiros
Complimenting Orfeon's equally impressive Hermosa Habana collection, this los Zafiros disc on the World Circuit label rounds up 17 of the Cuban group's finest cuts. Wowing crowds in Havana and Europe, los Zafiros remained in the spotlight between 1963-1967 thanks to an infectious and ingenuous blend of American doo wop and such tropical ...

by
Rubén Blades
Afro-Cuban purists would have loved it if Rubén Blades had stuck with the type of straight-ahead salsa that put him on the map. But in the '80s, Blades felt the need to branch out and start experimenting with other Latin styles -- a move that disappointed salsa purists while earning him a reputation as one of Latin music's major risk-takers. Even ...

by
Vinicius Cantuaria
Horse and Fish is Brazilian guitarist and composer Vinicius Cantuaria's fifth studio outing and his sixth overall. It is in some ways a radical departure and in others a full maturation of the hints and promises he's made since his debut offering, Sol Na Cara, in 1997. Cantuaria -- playing electric and acoustic guitars -- and his sextet (which ...

Quetzal
If Martha Gonzales -- one of Quetzal's lead vocalists -- decided to become a full-time soul or urban contemporary singer, she would probably have a bright future in the R&B field. Gonzales has a very soul-influenced vocal style, and she's quite expressive. But then, someone as eclectic as Gonzales would probably be selling herself short if she ...

La Clave
Music fanatics live for things like this: some long forgotten gem languishing in the vault of some record company whose librarians don't remember the thing existed, let alone care enough to make a case for its reissue. Latin funk outfit La Clave's sole album, recorded for Verve in the early '70s and then issued briefly in 1973, is shrouded in ...

Various Artists
A cursory sampler of what the wide world of Latin music has to offer, Protel's Seriously Good Music: Latin jumps around from salsa to mambo to boogaloo all in the space of 12 songs. There are some big names on here (Pérez Prado, Willie Rosario, Ray Barretto), but the album's trying to accomplish too much in too little space. That's not to say that ...

Pucho & His Latin Soul Brothers
After 25 years, Pucho reorganized his Latin Soul Brothers in 1995, at first including many of his alumni. The musicians had grown through the years, including altoist Eddie Pazant (doubling on flute) and trumpeter Al Pazant. Vibraphonist William Bivens is a strong asset, and four percussionists provide a lot of sounds for Pucho (on timbales) to ...

Remember Back in the Day (circa the '70s, to be exact) when groups like Malo, War, and Tierra fused classic soul and Latin brass elements so effortlessly that they seemed to be borne of the same culture? Legendary jazz percussionist Edgardo Cintron and producer/vocalist Rocco DePersia do, and they lead their alternately romantic and sizzling 15 ...

Shortly after Emusica Records released The Player: A Man and His Music, a double-disc compilation of Willie Colón's Fania output spanning a 20-year period, from the mid-'60s to the mid-'80s, Sony BMG countered with a decade-spanning compilation of its own, La Historia: The Hit List.

As proven by the various locales that leading funk purveyors hailed from (Funkadelic from Detroit, Ohio Players from Ohio, Sly Stone from San Francisco, etc.), you cannot pin down one specific U.S. area as a hotbed -- or birthplace -- of funk. It appears as though every area had its own leading funk act(s), and Texas was chock-full of them, as ...
