CD ReviewsFreekin Cool Jesse C. Morano | Boston, MA | 05/23/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is a phenominal album! It's become one of my standards and hasn't left my CD changer in five months. It has a great range of styles and artists but they blend wonderfully - great for parties. Some of it is really dancible, some more along the lines of super fun dinner party music. A great introduction to 1950's style funk / latin fusion. If you like Tito Puente or Babaloo or any ska band you must buy this album. Never mind the lack of samples, buy it anyway- you'll love it." An amazing compilation Mayda Del Valle | New York City | 12/02/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "This compilation is absolutlely amazing. Great to throw into your CD player and blast a few times over. You get the best of the musicians from this period, Joe Bataan, Tito Puente, Mongo, Harlem River Drive. It's funk, it's salsa, it's latin jazz, it's rhythm and blues and soul... and you definately get a feel for the creative energy driving the music of this period. The Brown Sugar CD from this same label is of equal quality. I can't say enough about it. A few of the songs were used in the sountrack for the movie Pinero with Ben Bratt. All the best CD's I've gotten of this type of music have been imports, so while it is a bit pricy, it's worth the money." Spicy Funky Stew zyzyfex | New York, NY United States | 04/15/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "Deeply satisfying. Leave it to a Brit label to put together this series of classic, rump-shakin' boogaloo. This superb comp digs deep in the crates for the best moments of the late 60s/early 70s barrio sound: salsa meets Harlem funk. There isn't a weak moment here, so drop this at your next house party and even your rhythmless friends will be on the floor. Stickier than fine Corinthian leather on an August afternoon, 'chacho."
