Title: Essential Flavor of Smooth Flavored Latin Emotions
Review: I was turn on to this not too long on Atlanta's Smooth Jazz 107.5 when they were playing "Europa" (originally recorded by Carlos Santana). Good Disc all the way through. This is how saxophonist impersario Gato Barbieri brought in it that made it go big time. Produced by the one and only Herb Alpert and plus assistance from his wife, Michelle Barbieri. Agree with the rest of the reviews here that believe it's unbelievable, essential and fill with Latin flavor and a touch of salsa and smooth reality. Jay Chattaway's CTI-based arrangements is incredible and strong with good kicks from the brass and strings. Fireflies, Fiesta, Los Desperados are thrilling with fire. Also Herbie's own "Behind the Rain" is consider yet the absolute piece of work of them all. Remember Herb's version 3 years after that on RISE? Thrill to have this at any collection.
