Cal Tjader gone funky on Mamblues later to feature as alternative take with Bernard Purdie on the Fritz The Cat soundtrack. Instant floorfiller. More clubby latin fun here though on the upbeat Bye Bye Love and This Ca...

Pretty undiscovered Germano Latino unit that recorded a few very viable latin fusion albums on the tiny Portobello label. This is my favorite of their albums with Que Vacillon Impressionante and Auoye. Original pressi...
