about

Super obscure New York Latin Jazz superbly produced by Eddie Drennon of the massive Disco hit of the early 1970's "Let's do the Latin Hustle".
Drennon was also a well known arranger and producer on the underground Latin Circuit and produced this way out, leftfield and very different to the typical "Salsa" style release current at that time.
Some very jazz oriented playing on top of the "El Barrio" Vox Pop sounds of the streets and underlaid with some funky and fiery latin percussion.
"Suite Guaracha" was picked up on by the London Ibiza crew in the 90's and the Ursula 1000 & Gamm Nu-Jazz crew in the 2000's, played all over the alternative club circuit but has still managed to stay under the radar since then, but now a staple of the Worldwide Sound appearing on DJ Playlists in the hippest spots from Tokyo to Hamburg, New York to Barcelona.
Very different from the usual run of the mill late 70's Fania outings which might be a clue as to it's somewhat unique sound stylings.
Funky, gritty, raw, fat jazzy and spooky backing vocals.
It's Strictly Jazz Room!

出た! 1979年に LA CHINA RECORDS(US) からリリースされたカルト・サルサの大人気盤、タタ・バスケス&ヒズ・オーケストラ『ECSTASY』が待望の初アナログ復刻! "Let's do the Latin Hustle" を大ヒットさせたNYラテンにおける名プロデューサー、エディー・デノンが手掛けた作品としても知られる本作だが、ファニアなどサルサ黄金期を思わせる「エル・バリオ」の雰囲気と、クロスオーバー全盛期のジャズ的洗練が奇跡的に融合。厚いホーンズとヴォーカルがバンド全体を牽引する "La Barberia" に始まり、"Maltido Vicio"、"El Loco" "Orgullo y Vanidad" といったキラーサルサ、そしてアブストラクトな雰囲気もあるデスカルガ・インスト "Suite Guarcho Pt. 2"まで。サルサ史全体を見渡してもトップクラスに位置するであろうその熱量とクオリティ。サルサ、ラテンジャズ・ファンはもちろん全DJ必携の一枚といえるだろう。

about

TATA VASQUEZ AND HIS ORCHESTRA London, UK

Roberto Vázquez alias Tata Vasquez, who moved from Cuba to the USA in New York in the 1960s. His album »Ecstasy« from 1979 with the not very subtle cover is above any suspicion of cheating. The percussion flows, the bass sails along with it, the brass sections on top are rubbed with dirty machine oil, so that they sound fat and abrasive-resistant at the same time ... more
