about

This compilation album is drawn from nine sessions recorded over a 14-year period by Bobby Matos and his Afro-Cuban Jazz Ensemble. The emphasis here is on the jazz side of Latin jazz. Matos, a percussionist and vocalist, leads the various groups through a wildly eclectic assortment of originals, traditional Latin tunes, pop songs, and modern jazz. How's this for diversity: an English/Spanish rendition of the Rascals' '60s hit "Groovin," and three different takes on Herbie Hancock's funk-jazz classic "Chameleon," and a stripped-down version (just rhythm section and voices) of Pharaoh Sanders' free-jazz epic "The Creator Has a Master Plan." -All Music

Where has this absolutely storming monster of a version been hiding for the last 40 years? Not only that, there is an epic version of Herbie Hancock's "Chameleon" too. And the rest of the LP is pretty darned tasty for sure. DJ's! Just play "World Is A Ghetto" and watch those pictures being taken. Paul Murphy
