The Complete Sessions Live At The Village Gate
NEW LP
vampisoul
One of the most famous Latin jam session albums ever -- recorded at the Village Gate, and featuring a massive set of players that includes Tito Puente, Victor Paz, Charlie Palmieri, Johnny Pacheco, Ray Barretto, Jimmy Sabater, and Joe Cuba! In keeping with the "descargas" title, the work is fast and free -- introduced in a very live setting, and building on spare rhythms with a rich array of Latin jazz work and spontaneous vocals! Supposedly, this set features all the material recorded at this historic show -- although it does appear to be missing 2 numbers -- with 6 tracks that include "Descarga En Cueros", "Major & Minor", "Descarga Boogaloo", "Desgargas De Contrabajos", "Guajira Controversial", and "Cargas Y Descargas".
"Originally released as three separate LPs in 1966, these fantastic live recordings are reissued for the first time on one double-CD. As the howls of the audience attest, the All-Stars offered up an exhilarating night of raw, improvised Afro-Cuban jazz. **** 5 stars."
