An excellent set from Willie recorded in the years before he moved to Verve, with a sound that’s a bit more Latin, but still inflected with all the sense of groove and jazzy inflection that you’ll find on Willie’s best work. There’s not as much singing or cover versions on the album as on Willie’s later work which is great by us – and the album’s got some wonderful original compositions like ‘Bobo Do That Thing’, ‘A La Bobita”, ‘Azulito’, ‘Chickadee’, ‘Rigor Mortis’, ‘Ritmo Tymbale’, and ‘Grab Your Hat’. A great groover, and very tough to find on wax! Digipak. Vampi Soul.
