Los Soneros Del Barrio
Remembranzas Featuring Frankie Vazquez
CD
(Rumba Jams 1014),
Released 2001;
Editor's Pick:
Wow...salsa with a capital "S" is back with Mr. Vazquez as it's confident leader. These powerful ten cuts define the New York salsa dura sound, and are a perfect follow-up to the critically acclaimed first release of Los Soneros Del Barrio. Frankly, we were unsure how this new release would sound after the unfortunate and untimely death of Mr. Vazquez' partner on their first release, pianist Martin Arroyo. Mr. Arroyo would be proud. Picking up where he left off is pianist and arranger Ricky Gonzalez, who does a fine job, indeed. His arrangements, and those of Louie Cruz and Richie Viruet are fine interpretations of classic salsa compositions from the likes of Chamaco Ramirez, Tite Curet Alonso and Ismael Rivera.
Highly recommended. (BP, 2001-12-29)
