Goat Hill Junket by Anthony Wilson (Guitar) (CD - 03/07/2007)
"Goat Hill Junket" (03/07/2007) Jazz Instrument Wilson, Anthony (Guitar), MAMA RecordsPersonnel: Anthony Wilson (guitar); Bennie Wallace (tenor saxophone); John D'earth (trumpet, flugelhorn); Art Baron (trombone); Jeff Ballard (drums). Liner Note Author: Dan Morgenstern. Recording information: Sony Music Studios, New York, NY (04/17/1998-04/18/1998). Unknown Contributor Roles: Jeff Ballard ; Joe Temperley; John D'earth; Mike LeDonne; Art Baron; Bennie Wallace. Arranger: Anthony Wilson . Goat Hill Junket recalls Anthony Wilson to the forefront of his nonet playing five new originals and three arrangements with memorable melodies and great ensemble textures. Wilson and his ensemble swing with the dynamics of older styles of jazz on songs that create their own melodic world. His resonant guitar leads on an innovative arrangement of "Here's That Rainy Day" and further compliments the standard with an impeccable array of younger and seasoned talent. With Jeff Ballard on drums, Jerry Dodgion on alto and Ted Nash on tenor, listeners are treated to Wilson's intense relationship with music as a composer, arranger and guitarist. Great horns and cool charts add attitude to Goat Hill Junket and give a spontaneous difference to the musical events presented by Wilson on his covers of "The Cherry Tree," and "It Has Happened to Me." Guest artist Bennie Wallace shines on his original composition which is part of Wilson's and Wallace's quartet repertory. "Georgia Waltz" spotlights Anthony Wilson's musical growth and firmly transplants his groove from roots deep in jazz heredity. Goat Hill Junket surpasses his 1997 debut and is an excellent CD with a tight, cohesive nonet that does it right every time. ~ Paula Edelstein

"Siempre Salsa *" (2006) International Davies, Rick, Emlyn MusicPersonnel: Rick Davies (trombone); Frank Otero (vocals); Alex Stewart (saxophone); Brian Mcnamara (alto saxophone); Alex Stewart (tenor saxophone); Tony Barrero (trumpet); Rick Davies & Jazzismo, Andy Moroz, Andrew West, Rafi Malkiel (trombone); Tom Cleary, Wayne Gorbea (piano); Jeff Salisbury (drums); Juan Rodriguez (congas, bongos); Frank Reyes, Steve Ferraris (congas); Luis Cruz (bongos); Ruben Borgas (timbales). Recording information: Bennet Studios, Englewood, NJ; Egan Media Studios, Burlington, Vermont. Siempre Salsa is an upbeat collection of songs in a variety of settings, all of which have in common the spirit of salsa. The eight songs on the CD were all composed by trombonist Rick Davies and range from straight-up Bronx-style salsa dura to big-band and small-group Latin jazz. Wayne Gorbea and Salsa Picante are featured on the two mainstream salsa cuts, "Rosa Primavera" and "Habana Nocturna." Frank Otero offers his provocative vocals on both tracks. The remaining selections are Latin jazz and feature the Jazzismo Sextet joined by various New York- and Vermont-based musicians including the members of Salsa Picante. Culled from the big-band archives, both "Insomnio" and "Santos" bring back memories of the Palladium-era tradition of Machito and Tito Puente. "Santos" is a tribute to the great arranger Ray Santos. "Rumba Nortena" and "Caliente Time" feature the core members of the Jazzismo Sextet while guest alto saxophonist David Grippo shines on "Cena Para Seis" and "Calle Loca." Rick Davies uses many of the same techniques heard on his first CD, Salsa Strut, offering listeners a danceable, emotional set. However, with the additional swing and big-band arrangements for Siempre Salsa, Davies brings the Latin side of his trombone finesse to the forefront with more swing, more style, and more sass. ~ Paula Edelstein

Baila Mi Gente: Salsa! by Poncho Sanchez (Cassette - 07/26/2004)
"Baila Mi Gente: Salsa!" (07/26/2004) Jazz Instrument Sanchez, Poncho, Concord PicantePersonnel: Poncho Sanchez (vocals, congas, bongos, cowbells, percussion); Pedro S nchez (vocals, congas, bongos, cowbells, percussion); Dick Mitchell, Tom Casey, Scott Martin (flute, saxophone); Kenny Goldberg, Gene Burkert (flute); Justo Almario (alto saxophone); Stan "Be Bop" Martin (trumpet, flugelhorn, trombone); Sal Cracchiolo, Steve Huffsteter (trumpet, flugelhorn); Art Valasco, Mark Levine , Andy Martin, Arturo Velasco, Alex Henderson, Bruce Paulson (trombone); David Torres, Charlie Otwell (piano); Ruben Estrada (vibraphone); Ramon Banda (drums, timbales, percussion); David Romero (congas); Jos? Papo Rodr¡guez (bongos, percussion). Audio Remixer: Phil Edwards . Liner Note Authors: Chico Mendoza; Roy Daniels; Chuck Niles; Eddie Lopez; Helen Borgers; Kareem Abdul-Jabbar; Carlos Lando; Liz Tjader; Leonard Feather. Recording information: Ameraycan Studios, North Hollywood, CA (08/20/1982-03/08/1995); Capitol Recording Studios, Hollywood, CA (08/20/1982-03/08/1995); Group IV Recording Studios, Hollywood, CA (08/20/1982-03/08/1995); Ocean Way Recording Studios, Hollywood, CA (08/20/1982-03/08/1995); United Western Studios, Hollywood, CA (08/20/1982-03/08/1995); United-Western Studios, Hollywood, CA (08/20/1982-03/08/1995); Yamaha Studios, Glendale, CA (08/20/1982-03/08/1995). Director: David Torres. Photographer: Bruce Burr. Although instrumental Latin jazz is Poncho Sanchez's forte, the L.A. percussionist usually included one or two salsa tunes with vocals on his Concord albums of the 1980s and 1990s. Focusing primarily on Sanchez's salsa recordings, this excellent 1996 compilation spans 1982-1995 and draws on eight of his Concord albums. Sanchez is best known for his work as a percussionist, but the fact that he's far from a bad singer is evident on his infectious original "Baila Mi Gente" and versions of Eddie Palmieri's "Cuidate Compai" and the classic "Co Co My My." One of the disc's best-known tracks is "Sonando," a catchy cha-cha based on Ray Barretto's major hit "Cocinando." The exuberant "Este Son" would have been a better choice than "Soul Sauce" -- not because Sanchez's Cal Tjader-influenced take on that Dizzy Gillespie/Chano Pozo classic isn't enjoyable, but because "Este Son" is a better example of outright salsa. But despite that shortcoming, this is a highly rewarding CD that makes us wish Sanchez recorded salsa (as opposed to Latin jazz) a lot more. ~ Alex Henderson

Salsa
"Salsa" (05/15/2000) International Original Soundtrack, Fania (USA)The Yankee Stadium concert on August 24, 1974, that generated the majority of the footage for Jerry Masucci's film Salsa seemed an almost impossible feat of strength, and one year beforehand would have been impossible. It was Masucci's preceding film, Our Latin Thing, that broke open the right doors and raised the right eyebrows to go from the Cheetah, a dancehall with a 4,000-person capacity, which was the 1972 film's home base, to putting 40,000 fans into Yankee Stadium. The 1975 film Salsa and its presentation of the Fania All-Stars in stadium contexts, both in New York and at Roberto Clemente Coliseum in San Juan, Puerto Rico, was a concerted effort to change the perception of salsa from a ghetto phenomenon to a world-class art form. The soundtrack follows the film, not only presenting the All-Stars driving audiences wild, but also with scholarly comment on salsa's genealogy, her roots in Africa, the Caribbean slave trade, and more. Though a golden moment in the history of a music that is so beloved, and featuring musicians who are equally monumental in fans' memories, Salsa as an album is a difficult listen. The fidelity is rough, and the flow, though it made brilliant filmmaking, transfers pretty poorly to an album context. Salsa was and is a great film, but there are definitely better ways to hear the Fania All-Stars. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez

Barretto: Salsa Caliente De Nu York
"Salsa Caliente de Nu York! [Music Club]" (10/05/2001) International Barretto, Ray, NascenteIncludes liner notes by John Armstrong. Conga genius Ray Barretto's 2001 SALSA CALIENTE DE NU YORK offers 13 stirring salsa tracks Ray Barretto is one of the Nuyorican music community's most influential and well-traveled conga (a large hand-drum) virtuosi. Ever since he got out of the army in the late '40s and started jamming up in Harlem, he has been at the forefront of his industry and impossible to classify. He has spanned the salsa, funk, pop, and jazz genres during his long career and collaborated with an impressive array of notables, including Dizzy Gillespie, Red Garland, Sonny Stitt, Chick Corea, Billy Cobham, and Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis. He even sat in with Bette Midler and the Rolling Stones. Since he is just as likely to play straight-ahead jazz as Latin music, Barretto has been known to take umbrage at being pigeonholed solely as a salsero. However, the present collection is dedicated to his incendiary work in that arena, where his rock-steady yet effortlessly creative conga was heard with the Fania All-Stars and alongside such masters as vocalists Adelberto Santiago, Tito Allen, and Ray de la Paz, pianist/arranger Gil Lopez, and Ray Romero, an important Cuban bata drummer. He also won a Grammy for a landmark album with Celia Cruz in 1990, and picked up another for best Latin jazz performance for My Summertime in 1996. The tunes on this collection are from the Fania label catalog and were picked from over 30 years of seminal recordings. The tunes are all first-rate and the set is a sizzling cauldron of spicy flavors, with mellow vocals, stinging brass, and African-influenced percussion that impact directly in the solar plexus. One caveat -- the liner notes do not list recording dates or band personnel. ~ Christina Roden

Salsa Caliente De Nu York *
"Salsa Caliente de Nu York!" (03/19/2001) International Fania All-Stars, MCIFania All-Stars' SALSA CALIENTE DE NU YORK features 13 Latin dance tracks, including "Chanchullo," "Bamboleo," and "Mam Guela." Given the unenviable task of compiling Fania All-Stars material (and apparently focusing more on their late-'70s commercial zenith), John Armstrong did a solid job. He took tracks from as early as 1972's breakout Live at the Red Garter, Vol. 2 and as late as 1994's Live in Puerto Rico, but concentrated most on overlooked LPs like 1974's Latin-Soul-Rock. Most of the highlights do come from the mid-'70s, with frenetic jams like "Mama Guela," "Coro Miyare," and "Chanchullo." With so little material by Fania All-Stars available anywhere, though, it's easy to wish for more focus on the collective's best work ever instead of their rarest. ~ John Bush
