The first was a comedy send-up of Tiger Woods affair.
This version is in the other direction..Taken from movies
and trailers from Joan Crawford..this a film noir version setting
for this song...This cut it very tightly done..with three solos
by E.P. Tommy Lopez and the late great Barry Rogers this version
can't be beat!.....and now for a bio and album credits.
Eddie Palmieri
is one of the foremost Latin jazz pianists of the last half
of the 20th century, blessed with a technique that fuses such
ubiquitous jazz influences as the styles of Thelonious Monk,
and McCoy Tyner into a Latin context. No purist, he has also
shown a welcome willingness to experiment with fusions of Latin
and non-Latin music.
Lo Que Traigo Es Sabroso was much more of a subdued outing than
Palmieri's previous La Perfecta LP — due, no doubt, to the presence of
a smaller band with no trumpeters (instead of the five heard on La Perfecta). Except for the opening mambo, two guarachas, and a descarga, this
smaller band takes many of the songs at a mid-tempo pace, but controlling
their power proves just as entertaining as cutting loose. Even when taken
at the pace of a cha cha, "Criticona" is a lordly, devastating workout for the
brass involved, and the title-track mambo lightens the mood considerably
. The dual-trombone line of Barry Rogers and Jose Rodriguez provide much restrained firepower throughout the album, and flutist George Castro gets
some great space for soloing.
