Justin V Posted October 20, 2020 Report Posted October 20, 2020 The likely sketchy disc has 4 tracks not on the DVD, including a Stan Getz guest spot. It is prime Griffin, so the 4 bonus tracks are a welcome addition. Quote
mikeweil Posted October 20, 2020 Report Posted October 20, 2020 Tito Rodriguez' band was every bit as good as Machito's or Tito Puente's. He had his own style, the groove his band gets is great. Whoever likes Machito from the late 1940's, will like Rodriguez from that time just as well. Quote

I think when I got those was when I first heard "Mambo A La Kenton" and "Mambo A La Billy May" and got a big kick out of them. It was definitely when I first heard "The Freeway Mambo", one of my favorite Prado recordings. When I was a kid, say somewhere around 1968-69, we got a box of old 45s our local small town radio station was purging, I guess (my mom worked with the mom of the guy who was the morning DJ on said station). I remember we had such discs as "Hot Diggity" by Perry Como, "Red Roses For a Blue Lady" and "Can't Get Used To Losing You" by Andy Williams, "The Little Old Lady From Pasadena" by the Beach Boys. But there was this one catchy, odd instrumental record that I loved, but I had no idea what the song was titled or who recorded. It took me decades until I stumbled across it again and learned the song I loved as a kid was this -- while looking for that, I also found these interesting clips. I like those modified Dizzy bell trumpets -- kind of a gooseneck look. The man sure loved those puffy shirts! Has any one ever recorded a solo piano album of mambos? Clearly Sr. Prado was not the man for that task, but it seems like a concept that just might work. Quote
jazzbo Posted October 20, 2020 Report Posted October 20, 2020 "The Popular Duke Ellington" this time it's the Sony Legacy cd from Europe. Love this release! Quote
