Vladimir Vassilieff & His Orchestra-New Sound In LatinJazz (1966)

Una rareza de Alegre Records esto es la de Vladimir el Vassilief belga llevado Bruselas del pianist y solamente el lp.Moving a Boston después de que una juventud pasada en Canadá él cogiera rápidamente la fiebre latina y pasara un cierto tme gigging alrededor de los puntos de la noche de Boston que jugaban los estándares latinos y el cha cha.

But del cha que él deseó jugar un cubano más implicado y los ritmos latinos del jazz así que él embaló sus bolsos y subió a Nueva York en donde él puso junta este gran pedazo de la música latina que se mueve desde boogaloo al mambo a las características Bobby Porcelli, Bobby Rodriguez, Many Duran, Ismail Quintana, Harry Bongo Rodriguez, Nick Ramos y Phil Newsum de jazz.The lp junto con notas de la manga de su mentor y amigo Charlie Palmieri.

Esto hizo un vinylrelease limitado en Japón en 1993 pero no se rasga ningún Cd-este de la reedición japonesa.

Vladimir Vassilieff & His Orchestra-New Sound In LatinJazz (1966)


"This is my idea of Latin jazz from the genre’s golden era (’50s and ’60s). The reissue CD gives the original release year as 1971. I disagree. The catalog number is consistent with a release around 1966. Commenting on the album’s boogaloo inspired number, Charlie Palmieri points out in his liner notes that: 'This album was done just as the Latin boogaloo trend erupted.' This also ties the record in with a circa 1966 release. Charlie’s lengthy notes explain that pianist/composer Vladimir Vassilieff hailed from Belgium.

After relocating to Canada, then Boston, he led his own band in New York. Vladimir wrote and arranged the entire album, which features a serious lineup of cats including Bobby Rodríguez on bass, Mexican trumpeter Manny Duran, altoist/flautist Bobby Porcelli, timbalero Phil Newsum (of Orchestra Harlow fame) and vocalists Ismael Quintana and Santos Colón. My favourite cuts include 'Chonga,' 'Mambito' and 'St John’s Guaguancó,' which all swing like hell. New Sound In Latin Jazz used to be a rare Latin groove in the UK, changing hands for large sums of money. Even the Japanese limited edition vinyl reissue of the early ’90s retailed for about $50! Now it’s available for all at a reasonable price."
