Orquesta Universal
New York Salsa
CD (One Soul 002), Released 2005;
Editor's Pick:
Wow -- from the opening track "Fuego A La Jicotea" (a huge hit for
Marvin Santiago) you'll know right away that this swinging salsa-
mambo-jazz release is something special. Assembled by tresero Carlos
Konig and trumpeter Richie Vitale, this selection of compositions —
ranging from the aforementioned classic "Fuego..." to the Senen
Suarez composition "La Sopa En Botella" to Marcelino Guerra's "Ahora
Sí, Oye Mi Rumba" to Thelonius Monks "Evidence" — boasts a
thoughtful sophistication and respect for music of very high
standards.
David Oquendo (singer for Quimbombó, Raíces Habaneras, Africando
etc.) does a great job here, and gives the band that New York soul
we used to hear when there was a flourishing club scene — this band
is reminiscent of the best groups that played the 2-a.m. set
downtown. That's when they let loose and played the music *they*
liked. Totally infectious dance material with deep grooves. And
totally Highly recommended, too.
