CD album reissue of the original recording published in 1966 by the Canadian jazz pianist and composer Oscar Peterson (Montreal, 1925-2007). Peterson was called the "Maharaja of the keyboard" and went on to win eight Grammy awards during his career. In this album he added to his usual trio, with bassist Sam Jones and drummer Louis Hayes, a superb Latin rhythm section, including Marshall Thompson, Harold Jones and Henley Gibson. The title is really misleading. This music is not Spanish, but Brazilian soul.
First album, also titled 'Amor', by the trio Los Panchos (Alfredo Gil , Chucho Navarro and Johnny Albino) and Turkish-American singer Eydie Gormé recorded in February 1964 in New York, reissued in Spain in 1982 in LP format. This four aces of the song left to remember this classical recording of bolero and Latin vocal music.
Album released in Spain in the 80's. It is the first published collection of songs in Spanish performed by the pianist, guitarist and singer Nat King Cole. Nat only had musical and pianistic received from his mother and soon he turned his attention to jazz, swing and gospel, along with classical music. His artistic activity, although it started in the middle of the decade of 30's, did not stand up to early 40's and ended up having a number 1 in sales in 1950 with the theme 'Mona Lisa'. From 1958 Nat expanded his global popularity to the Spanish-speaking countries beginning to sing songs in Spanish, which he did until 1962, but their language skills were lacking. From that time and the Spanish repertoire is compiled this first album.
A very unusual early chapter in the career of Lalo Schifrin – and a record that's a fair bit different than most of his famous bossa, jazz, and soundtrack work! The sound here is much more New York Latin than the Brazilian modes that show up in other Schifrin work – with orchestrations that nicely set the scene for bolder piano lines on the keys – often in a style that's a bit more dramatic than you'd expect from Lalo, and underscored by some great hard percussion at the bottom! Most tunes are quite lively, with a really crackling Latin groove – and titles include "Jungle Fantasy", "Hulablues", "Caravan", "Capricho Espanol", and "El Cumbanchero".
