Lartiste Quartier Latin Vol 1

The Gibson Brothers are a French musical group, originally from Martinique, who had their greatest success during the disco boom of the late 1970s. Their best known hit singles included "Cuba" and "Que Sera Mi Vida"…

40 years after the first LP release, the Real Ax Band is back in action: in April 2018, the CD 'Just Vibrations - Live at the Quartier Berlin', is released, a live album, which was recorded in the Berlin 'Quartier Latin' in April 1978. For decades this club was one of the mist important venues for Jazz, Rock, Fusion, World and Blues in Berlin. Today it is again named 'Winter Garten' as during Berlin's roaring 1920s. 'Just Vibrations' is a rare musical document - reflecting very much the Zeitgeist of Germany's 1970's. It was never released before and shows how the group refined their Style from being part of German Krautrock to become a vital part of European Fusion Music.

This Latin jazz performance by saxophone- and clarinet-player Paquito D'Rivera and pianist Chano Dominguez, along with their ensemble, was recorded at Madrid's Teatro Real in 2006.

Blue Bossa Vol. 1. This compilation should be titled Blue Latin because it's more of a sampler of various Latin jazz styles than just a bossa nova-jazz mix. In an age of overzealous marketing and grab-bag reissues, though, the oversight is understandable. Thankfully, the misguided approach doesn't dim the quality of this very enjoyable Blue Note release. The six actual bossa nova tracks in the collection – out of 14 – range from effervescent, hard bop treatments by Hank Mobley ("Recado Bossa Nova") and Cannonball Adderly ("Sambop") to languid ballad renditions by Ike Quebec ("Loie") and Eliane Elias ("Waters of March/Agua de Beber"). The most authentic and best of the bunch is Duke Pearson's "Sandalia Dela," which spotlights Brazilian stars Airto Moreira and Flora Purim. Another standout is John Patton's B-3 organ bossa "Latona," which features inspired solos by guitarist Grant Green and vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson…

There are a lot of latin-compilations as many as grains of sand on a vast beach. As we know, quantity has nothing to do with quality, though. On one hand there are astonishingly boring anthologies that do not get much attention by the audience. On the other hand there are compilations which are compiled without any plan by a trainee who was given maximum 30 minutes of time in the archive of the label to compile the cheap „ritmo-latino-cd“ of the week…
