happy birthday!!!

man i do mike! it gets the blood pumpin! i looked at AMG but it doesn't appear that bellson did any other albums like this one though.

well i guess i must be wrong about this one - Yanow says: Review by Scott Yanow Drummer Louis Bellson is co-leader on this CD reissue of a Pablo set with percussionist Walfredo De Los Reyes, but it is very much Reyes's set. Actually, there are eight percussionists on this date and, even with the presence of keyboards, two bassists (including the legendary Cachao) and up to three horns (Cat Anderson and Alejandro Vivar on trumpets and Lew Tabackin contributing some flute and tenor), the five selections are essentially percussion displays. This would have been a fun date to see live with all of the colorful sounds being made but, as a pure listening experience, the lack of variety and the emphasis on fairly simple (if dense) rhythmic vamps makes this a surprisingly forgettable affair. OR MAYBE NOT!!! I LIKE IT!!!!!

maybe you don't like the 'latin' beat?

no need to be sorry - thats why ice cream comes in flavours!
