Ron Mathewson (!!) ....

Yep .... the Cover Photography is priceless indeed .... btw an outstanding release by Kent/Ace ....

One of the great voices of Southern Soul ..... must have recordings for sure ....

Peter Tosh "Mama Africa" (EMI) 1983 .... the female backgroundsingers inject additional S-O-U-L ....

Terry Callier "Turn You To Love" (Elektra) 1979 ....

It was about time to re-play this sort of "one hit wonder" ....

Herbie Mann "Sunbelt" (Atlentic Records) 1978 ....

Ismael Rivera Y Sus Cachimbos "Esto Si Es Lo Mio" (Tico Records) 1978 ....

Ismael Rivera y Sus Cachimbos "Ella No Merece un Llanto" (Tico Records) 1978 ..... a luxurious coro consisting of Adalberto Santiago, Héctor Lavoe, Nestor Sánchez and Rubén Blades at work ....

From his earlier 70's album run .... btw interesting how many different background singers he used for each track meticously ....

Classic ....

Charlie Haden + Ed Blackwell = a force ....

Outstanding Rhythm Section ....

Agreed, her Scarlatti performances are stunning ....

Hector Lavoe "El Sabio" (Fania Records) 1980 .... great Salsa Cover Art revisited ....

Monguito "Ahora Si Que Estoy Plantao" (Caiman Records) 1986 .... as with all great Salsa performances the coro kicks in @ the perfect moment .... impossible not to mention Mario Hernandez .... "solid gold" from the vanishing golden times of Salsa ..... highly recommended platter which should be shouted from the rooftops

Superb .... one of Horace Tapscott's finest hours ....

Thnx for your feedback ....

Arthur Blythe "Light Blue" (Columbia Records) 1983 ....

Fat Larry's Band "Lookin' For Love" (Fantasy) 1979 ....

Indeed .... btw some good bass playing by Abraham Laboriel ....

Spot on 🎯 ....

Glad I didn't promise too much 😇 .... btw this group had - similarly to the ICP Orchestra we've discussed recently - a great feel for the music of Thelonious Monk .....

Superb group in excellent shape well documented ....

Norman Connors "Romantic Journey" (Buddah Records) 1977 ....
