Jesus "Chucho" Valdes is the band leader/arranger/pianist/writer, it is very inspiring. If you can check out and album called "Misa Negra." |

Bassist Jimmy Haslip has a solo cd called Red Heat that you really need to check out. There's some deep latin grooves on that one! |

Oh and he's my guitar teacher's friend and I've been to one of his clinics  He has a book out, too, called Afro-Cuban Bass Grooves, based on the rhythms with the clave, if you want to check that out. Clicky

for newer stuff, I like Lefty Perez and Andy Montanez...very poppy salsa, it still has that great salsa bass rythem..but the music is very modern and "pastuerized"
I think Poncho Sanchez is really one of my favorite salsa artists out there.
For old school stuff, Tito Puente rocks! |

| | Registered User Endorsing Artist: Aguilar Amplification & LaBella Strings | | Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: NYC | | | We New Yorkers on the Latin scene (at least my generation) listened to the big bands of Machito, Tito Puente & Tito Rodriguez, (Bobby Rodriguez played and recorded w/ all of them) the Cuban Descargas on Panart records feat. Cachao & Julio Gutierrez & smaller ensembles like Eddie Palmieri's La Perfecta and a few others that I can't remember right now .... too early yet! There's also "The Fania All Stars" and their star bassists, Bobby Valentin & Sal Cuevas, the latter, introduced R&B and Funk elements to Latin bass playing. Anything on Fania records before 1983, will most likely feature Sal on bass, for example:
Willie Colon
Ray Barretto
Fania All Stars
and on & on ....
Easy,
RR
P.S. NJL good looking out! | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
