I really was surprised by this cd, I have read about it in music magazines, and I finally decided to buy it. It was well worth it! If you are a dj or true latin jazz lover, you cannot go wrong with this record. It is a timeless masterpiece!

its hard to believe this masterpiece is almost 50 years old.sabu martinez created what is considered by many to be the best latin jazz ever made.and now available on cd is truly remarkable it hasnt lost its flavor since its creation.any collection would be incomplete without this superb musical trip,there are no words that can describe the impact of this musical genius.worth the money let alone finding the album originaly released on the alegre label.here's your chance to own it on cd.......

A septet of dedicated musicians, steeped in both Latin and Bop
deliver a no holds barred treatment of some well loved Horace Silver tunes, as well as originals framed between Cuban folk drumming played by masters of the genre. No wannabees or dilettantes welcome here. This album was recorded for musicians,
by musicians who had sold their souls for the crative muse of fire. It was among the very first latin-jazz albums to make a serious statement among the cognescenti. Raw and wild, but never tasteless or cute. A true hard bop latin gem. You have my word.
