Mongo Santamaria y su Orquesta - ¡Sabroso! 1959 torrent

Mongo Santamaria y su Orquesta
Sabroso! / 1959


Sabroso! is one of Mongo's classic charanga recordings.

The Santamaría band of the period included a who’s who of Latin Jazz artists, including such names as tenor saxophonist José “Chombo” Silva, violinist Félix “Pupi” Legarreta, and percussionist Willie Bobo.

On Sabroso!, 1959, the group has superior playing by Jose "Chombo" Silva on both violin and tenor (helping "Para Ti" to become a classic), two little-known but talented trumpeters (Louis Valizan and Marcus Cabuto), the great flutist Rolando Lozano, pianist Rene Hernandez, bassist Victor Venegas, and Willie Bobo on drums. Pete Escovedo is one of the background singers as Rudi Calzado takes the lead on a few numbers but does not dominate.
