4.0 out of 5 stars
Two very different lp's on one CD,
By Melissa (Puerto Rico) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mongo's Way / Up From the Roots (Audio CD)
The first lp on this Collectables 2-for-1 is overproduced and erratic. Bernard Purdie on drums, all star band, occasionally silly background vocals...typical for the period, but done better than most. Great version of Eddie Harris's "Listen Here". The second lp is more traditional. "Virtue"is a highpoint. More focus on Mongo's drumming. This one gets better as you listen to it. Don't let a few of the ridiculous throwaway tracks "The Letter?" deter you from hearing some of the gems.

Mongo Santamaria, Master Conguero,
By Juancao (San Antonio, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mongo's Way / Up From the Roots (Audio CD)
I love this CD! Some funky urban Latin Jazz, some traditional Cuban music like Bembe, and Abacua and some classics like Sofrito, Para Ti, and Conga Blue. Mongo Santamaria's conga playing is outstanding and funky but he does not show off. Mongo stays within the song and his playing is always tasteful. The closer you listen to the songs the more you can hear what he is playing and you realize how good he is.
