Gerry Woo • Latin Percussion With Soul

 

Description from Dusty Groove (Amazon):
An obscure album from Jack "Mr Bongo" Costanzo -- his only entry into the Latin Soul genre, and a really nice batch of grooves! Jacko's working here with singer Gerry Woo, who sings in English on about half of the album's tracks, giving the set a nice pop-styled Latin groove that reminds us a lot of Willie Bobo's work for Verve, and some of the more unusual indie Latin albums of the time. The set's filled with loads of great numbers, including Hector Rivera compositions "Recuerdos," "Que Vengo Acabando," "Don't Squeeze the Peaches," and "Mambo Jack," plus covers of "Jive Samba," "Words," and "Green Onions."
