Pucho & His Latin Soul Brothers: Pucho (timbales); Marvin Horne (guitar); Eddie Pazant (alto saxophone, flute); Al Pazant (trumpet); John "Madhatter" Spruill (piano, organ); William "Yams" Bivens (vibraphone); Jon Hart (bass); Ernesto Colon (drums, congas, bongos); Lawrence Killian (congas); Ricky "Bongo" James (bongos, congas); Massamba (percussion). Additional personnel: Melvin Sparks (vocals, guitar); Mel Martin (soprano, alto & tenor saxophones, flute, piccolo); Melecio Magdaluyo (baritone saxophone); Robbie Kwock (trumpet); Wayne Wallace (trombone); Steve Berrios (shekere, bells, clave, guiro, bongos, congas, background vocals). Recorded at Variety Sound Studio, New York in June 1995. Includes liner notes by Carol Cooper. After 25 years, Pucho reorganized his Latin Soul Brothers in 1995, at first including many of his alumni. The musicians had grown through the years, including altoist Eddie Pazant (doubling on flute) and trumpeter Al Pazant. Vibraphonist William Bivens is a strong asset, and four percussionists provide a lot of sounds for Pucho (on timbales) to play off of. In addition to the 11-piece group, there are six guests, including Steve Berrios on percussion, saxophonist Mel Martin, and guitarist Melvin Sparks (who sings along with his guitar a la George Benson on one number). Highlights include "Milestones," Jack McDuff's catchy "Hot Barbecue," and "Caravan." One of Pucho's strongest jazz sets of his career. ~ Scott Yanow
