Buddy Collette Latin All-Stars

It begins simply... The rhythm mounts, gradually becoming more complex. Enter the darting, gracefull flute. Moments later, the piano and guitar make the pickup simultaneousy. No the pace is torrid. The performance frantic. It's JAZZ HEAT - BONGO BEAT ! This is an axciting cohesion of authentic Latin music and American Jazz... an unusual and profitable partner ship into new and modern sounds. The rhythm section : Larry Bunker is the drummer ; Tony Reyes, the bassist ; on bongos, Carlos Mejia ; and the conga drummer, Darias. The "front-line" boasts three of the brightest stars in the jazz orbit. Inventive, decisive Eddie Cano plays piano. Tommy Tedesco, guitarist, performs in his usual competent, driving manner. And then, wailing on flute, sometimes piccolo, there's brilliant, idea-rich Buddy Collette...

A little bit Latin, a little bit jazz, a little bit loungey -- and a lotta bit groovy ! LA flute jazzer Buddy Collette leads the session, and it's got a nice groove that mixes the piano of Eddie Cano with guitar by Tommy Tedesco and a blend of jazz drumming and Latin percussion...
