More like mid 80s maybe?
Incidentally, I remember being told by older - and supposedly wiser - jazz fans already in the 90s that 1987 was the worst year for jazz, ever (in terms of what was being produced). I still do not have enough data to be able to confirm, but what turned up in the second-hand bins from that year always seemed to be unappealing.
Roberto Torres "Camina Y Ven Pa' La Loma" (SAR Records) 1981 .... Charlie Rodriguez delivers an "outerwordly" tres solo and the coro aka Fernando Lavoy + Jorge Maldonado + Melcochita takes care of an simply irresistible hook line ....
Last week:

also Michael Foster’s Ghost with John Moran & Joey Sullivan, solo alto Don Malfon
Also Chuck Roth duo with Scott Fields
an awesome trio with Maria Valencia, Brandon Lopez & Matt Moran
