THIS ALBUM IS BREAKING AWAY FROM THE FORMULAIC CLEAN MODERN SALSA SOUND AND GETTING BACK TO THE HARDER LIVE JAM SESSION FEEL REMINISCENT OF THE ALEGRE LABEL. DOMINATING THESE SESSIONS WAS NEW YORK'S FINEST EVER MASTER OF THE BLACK & WHITES , CHARLIE PALMIERI. HIS SEARING VERSION OF" TEMA DE MARIA CERVANTES" HAS BEEN LIGHTING UP THE DANCEFLOORS OF THE NEW YORK CLUBS ALL YEAR.

WAYNE GORBEA KICKS WITH HIS VERSION OF ARSENIO'S "TUMBA PALO CUCUYE". ORLANDO FIOL IS THE NEW KID ON THE BLOCK DESTINED TO REPLACE CHARLIE AS THE KEYBOARD KING, HIS MODAL LATIN JAZZ FANTASY "6/8" RECORDED WHEN HE WAS 16 PROCLAIMS HIS GENIUS. MONGO SANTAMARIA SINGS ON THE CLASSIC "QUE NO MUERA EL SON"

BUT IT IS " DESCARGA (AROUND MIDNIGHT)" BY CHARANSON WHICH STARTS WITH THAT THUDDING BASS LINE. THIS IS THE ONE THAT ALL THE DJS HAVE GONE CRAZY FOR. A UNIQUE CLASSIC THAT WILL BE PLAYED CONTINOUSLY.

THIS IS LATE NIGHT NEW YORK JAMMING.
