“The Golden Horn of Billy Franklin” Grand Prix Series mono LP

It’s not Billy Franklin. It’s Don Goldie. Very much in the mould of the Teagarden group he was then a part of. Really nice sound as well.

It is streamable! With a similar cover but not quite the same. 

Really one of my favourite Cuban records of its period (which is saying something). It assume a "Conjband" is meant to be a midway between a conjunto and a big band, because there are some really good horn arrangements and surprising space for solos. It's nice to hear boleros with alto solos. 

Obviously the jam session is a classic, but this one is more in the vein of the pop music of it's time.

With a few exceptions, I like the Cuban pop music of the time. Some excellent singing and fine arrangements.

Do you know this one?

I don't but will check it out. Thanks!

I have to think that it's a "classic" since it's been pirated/bootlegged more times than I can count. And with good reason!
