Editor's Pick:
"Recorded in the mid 1970s, this album featured Eddie experimenting with the Fender Rhodes piano and his brother Charlie on organ, a young Nicky Marrero on drums, timbales and bongo along with guest Chocolate Armenteros on trumpet. It's hard to pick just one E.P. album, but I like this one because of its combination trad/rad approach and the classic 'Revolt/La Libertad' Logico which was an anthem at the time for Puerto Rican youth like myself in N.Y.C." (Bobby Sanabria, 94/95 Catalog)
A milestone in Eddie Palmieri's recording career, 1971's Vamonos Pa'l Monte, his last studio album for Tico, adds the baritone saxophone of Ronnie Cuber to his trombone / trumpet frontline. Older brother Charlie guests on organ. The arrangements are adventurous with jazz components very much to the fore. Conscious lyrics reflect the mood of the civil rights era. Speaking about the album and his preceding Tico projects Justicia (1969) and Superimposition (1970), Eddie said to David Carp and Bruce Polin of Descarga.com in 1998: "Then that becomes a whole other ballgame and that gives me all the variations to the bands that I have now."
Very highly recommended. (John Child, 2010-09-12)
