Big Boss Man • Full English Beat Breakfast

Una banda perfecta que cocina desde el pop sesentero al Rhythm&Blues pasando por el Latin Soul, el Boogaloo o el Groove Funk. Su híbrido ha revitalizado un género minoritario como es el mal llamado acid jazz.

Un sucio órgano Hammond, un sintetizador mono y unos bongos, junto a la clásica línea de guitarra-bajo-batería, bastaron a Big Boss Man para que la revista Loaded los catalogara como la banda de mejor directo de las Islas Británicas. Eso fue al principio de su carrera y desde entonces no han variado su infalible fórmula. Junto a Bouzida, conocido como Mr. Bongolian, Scott “Mad Man” Milsom al bajo, Trevor Harding a la guitarra y Nick “Bones” Nicholls a la batería, despliegan un incendiario directo que ponen a bailar a todo aquel afortunado que disfrute de sus directos. Mientras mantengan esa actitud profesional y entrega a la causa, jamás les faltarán rincones en los que manifestar su poderío bailongo. Ese es el secreto que los ha llevado por medio mundo. Si quieres menear tus preciosas caderas este es tu disco.

Dick Garcia • A Message From Garcia

Electric guitarist Dick Garcia taught himself the instrument at the age of nine before ever taking any lessons. He played with Tony Scott's quartet in 1950, then worked until the mid-'50s with Charlie Parker, George Shearing and Joe Roland. Garcia again played and recorded with Scott in 1955, also recording with Milt Buckner, Lenny Hambro and his own bands, while also recording with Johnny Glasel and Bobby Scott. Garcia continued into the '60s touring and recording with Shearing and Kai Winding.

Herbie Mann & Machitos Jazz Orchestra • Super Mann

La grabación original aparecida en 1958 como disco de "Machito & his Jazz Orchestra" en donde si bien Herbie tiene una importante participación aparece como músico invitado de Francisco Raúl Gutiérrez Grillo también conocido como "Machito", músico y director de orquesta desde finales de los '30 del estilo latin-jazz, o sea por aquel entonces (1958) "Machito" era mucho más importante que Herbie por lo cual se entiende que no aparezca como co-autor del disco. Años más tarde en 1978 ante la creciente fama de Herbie y las ansias por más dinero de la grabadora reciclan esta grabación bajo el título de "Herbie Mann & Machitos Jazz Orchestra - Super Mann".

"Machito"

Como sospecharán este es un disco bastante distinto de otros de Herbie, el cual a lo largo de su carrera no ha disimulado su gusto por los sonidos latinos, en el cual hay que valorar tanto a Herbie por su visión adelantada a su época de la interpretación de la flauta, como también a “Machito” por unos excelentes arreglos y ensamble orquestal.

The original recording appeared in 1958 as an album by Machito & his Jazz Orchestra where, although Herbie has an important participation, he appears as a guest musician of Francisco Raúl Gutiérrez Grillo also known as "Machito", musician and orchestra conductor since the end of the '30 of the latin-jazz style, or at that time (1958) "Machito" was much more important than Herbie so it is understood that not appear as a co-author of the album. Years later in 1978 before the increasing fame of Herbie and the hunger for more money of the recorder recycle this recording under the title that of "Herbie Mann & Machitos Jazz Orchestra - Super Mann".As they suspect this is a record quite different from others by Herbie, who throughout his career has not disguised his taste for Latin sounds, in which we must value so much Herbie for his vision ahead of his time of interpretation Of the flute, as well as "Machito" by excellent arrangements and orchestral ensemble.
