I have a vague memory of that era.

My memories of that time are vague too!  When the LP was originally released, I was in the fifth grade.  

Of course, I didn't hear it back then.  I discovered the record a few years ago when I was working on my 70s jazz blog.

It's good music.  All four guys in the band were working for Mongo Santamaria at the time.  I guess Jasmine was a side project.

Verdict - definitive issue, by far the best version of this classic I have heard (don’t have an original). Charlie Mariano never sounded better and the Spanish guitar sound is exquisite.

Yeah I fully agree. Excellent sound.

Those Poll Winners are on my radar, as soon I could get a mono original at a fair price.

This is great, not surprisingly. Half price too from Juno !

Shame there wasn’t a 4th side.

[HutchFan]

Gorgeous and (seemingly) effortless.

Blue Mitchell - Step Lightly (Blue Note). I have the old LT (rainbow) LP, not the ridiculously overpriced "Blue Note Review" version that forced you to buy a scarf to hear. It sounds pretty good for one of these LT LPs. I often wondered if some of these LT sessions were held back because of sonic faults as there were a couple that were not in the best sound. This isn't one of them.

again here too. We seem to like the same stuff

More Buddy Defranco:

[bresna]

Stan Getz - Voyage (BlackHawk Records). Except for the whiny acoustic bass sound, this is pretty good stuff. Looking forward to seeing Kenny Barron at the new Jimmy's Jazz & Blues Club in Portsmouth, NH in February. It'll be my first time going to this new Jazz venue.

Editing to add that the Kenny Barron show will be my second show there... I forgot that I bought tickets to see Ambrose Akinmusire in January.

Enjoying this so much that I'm giving it a second spin:

Ray Barretto - The Other Road (Fania, 1973)
Interesting write up about this LP and its impact here: "Revisiting Ray Barretto’s The Other Road"
