I believe Leo Gooden was also a club owner in St. Louis or East St. Louis. I've always assumed "Gooden's Corner" was an homage to one of Leo's clubs. Maybe a favorite hang out of Grant's?

LOJG Vol.1 is essential. In addition to Wes there is some killer Barney Kessel on this DVD.

Went on a Brazialian binge at DG and ordered the following: Sambalanco Trio- Improviso Negro Sambalanco Trio- Reencontro Con Sambalanco Trio Sambalanco Trio- Sambalanco Trio Trio Mocoto- Trio Mocoto Zimbo Trio- Decisao Zimbo Trio- Zimbo Trio (RGE)

Doesn't seem to have an album out yet. Here's a link to his site with some mp3s. Pretty interesting. Lage Lund

I put mine in slimline jewel cases as soon as I bought the set. Terrible original design on that set!

Also a cool version of Chameleon from that same 1975 Soundstage performance. Love it when Herbie pulls out the voodoo, via his tone generator. That's some cool shit!

Looks like that Stromberg won't sit idle for long! Good news and wishing you a speedy recovery.

This book by David Garcia, might be useful..... (I almost bought this over the weekend) Arsenio Rodriguez and The Transitional Flows of Latin Popular Music

FWIW, I got into "YL" via his work with Cannonball Adderley. Then moved on to his own albums, with the one exception of Live At Pep's.

I'm gonna have to pick this one up. g Speaking from a guitaristic point of view; your going wish you had picked this one up sooner! Jim Hall is stellar.

Maybe Mike Weil knows?

I just received this information via an electronic newsletter. I have no affliation with amusicdirect or Monitor Audio. That said, this seems like a very good price for this well-reviewed piece of gear. Check it out if your in the market for this sort of item...... I-Deck Sale

Very nice, I think that was posted before in the Youtube thread. The birds in the background add a nice touch! Good to see again I believe young master Jake got his first big break opening for Jimmy Buffet. Go figure.

...and some things that can't be imagined but need to be seen!

The Meters: Look-Ka Py Py/Jungle Man

Freak Out! beer

Due in no small part to Mr. Duane Allman I still really like "She's A Woman", "I'm Down", and "I Me Mine" and yes the BBC material was/is a breath of fresh air for jaded Beatle fans.

Thanks again to everyone who replied. Ordered these for starters.... Gonzalez, Jerry: Jerry Gonzalez Y Los Piratas Del Flamenco Pascoal, Hermeto: Slaves Mass Rubalcaba, Gonzalo: Mi Gran Pasion Also going to get the "A.K. Salim" and "Julio Barreto" very soon.

Very nice!

Thanks. Eddie & Charlie Palmieri, Ronnie Cuber (on soprano no less!), Cornell Dupree, Jerry Jemmont..... Sounds like it's in my wheelhouse as well!

I don't think these are what the original poster is looking for... Guy Not exactly, but I do really like Herbie Mann- Live At The Village Gate and I've been meaning to pick up some Marion Brown for awhile, so this sounds intriguing as well.

This helps! They all sound very interesting and I'll be tracking these down in short order. Thanks very much Mike.

The topic title may be a little misleading; I'm really not sure if such a thing exisits, but what I'm looking for is music that employs a traditional latin rhythm section (in all it's forms) and various other soloists that play in a more outside if not downright free manner. Any help tracking down these types of recordings would be greatly appreciated. P.S. Listening to Ray Barretto's "Espiritu Libre" from his album Acid got me thinking about this topic and serves as my original point of reference.
