Fantastic
slice of latin jazz. The album smokes from start to finish, with Gato
in his prime as a sax player. Also featuring the great bass of Ron
Carter and the fine drumming of Pretty Purdy. Check out "A John
Coltrane Blues" and "Marnie". ~ jimslim11
Gato
Barbieri wails his jazz-sax to some great latin rhythms. The title
track is complex, driving, and joyous. Driving percussion, thumping
bass. Brilliant playing. When they dive into Coltrane's "Village
Blues" - (here called "A John Coltrane Blues), ya better
strap on your seat belts. ~ phnuggle
