Which album is your favorite album by La Sonora Ponceña? I'd probably go with Explorando or La Orquesta de Mi Tierra. What say you? EDIT @soulpope, I just now noticed the cut you featured from Musical Conquest earlier in the thread. I suppose that answers my question.

I love Ismael Quintana's vocals -- but I'd only heard him sing with Eddie Palmieri. I've never explored his solo work. So this music is completely new to me, and it is OUTSTANDING!

Luigi Texidor .... obviously - as proven by said track - the voice of Miguelito Ortiz excelled too and both piano and refined arrangements of Papo Lucca were a bright spot anyway ....

Luigi Texidor .... obviously - as proven by said track - the voice of Miguelito Ortiz excelled too and both piano and refined arrangements of Papo Lucca were a bright spot anyway .... Thanks! I'm not an expert, but it seems like there was a slight-but-definite evolution in La Sonora Ponceña when Lucca took over as producer, beginning with Musical Conquest in 1976. Even though I like the stuff from the first half of the decade, there does seem to be an increase in the "jazz quotient" in the latter half of the 1970s. For example, Lucca's piano interludes are often featured a la Eddie or Charlie Palmieri. That's the stuff that really captures my ear & gets me stoked: When the Venn diagram of jazz and salsa (or perhaps we could use the more general term Latin music) aren't only adjacent, there's overlap. And when the overlap is "significant enough" (however one might define that!), you have Latin jazz. Of course, this is all a continuum thing. The lines between these genres are very fuzzy and porous. And that's one of the many things that makes this topic so interesting. Edited December 13, 2023 by HutchFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thnx for your thoughts .... off course there is a mix in/of various genres and definitions are hard to be drawn .... while selecting music for this thread most of the tracks simply make my heart beat faster (or "prick up my ears"😎) .... as so often this is about personal taste (too) ....
