Two Latin Jazz Unknowns

Hi,

The first one is called 'Congo Blues'. I believe this is the Frank 'el Pavo' Hernandez version from Venezuela. It doesn't sound like Johnny Ventura's version as that one is slower.

Frank was an amazing timbalero, one of the very very best and unfortunately passed away this summer. His music is well worth checking out, all of it!

Hope this helps,
- Guachi :-)
 
i can confirm...

ahhh guachi guaro you are a prince amongst men...and here I was about to go and send you a message about it...


how rare is this, and is there a digitally remastered version available, cd available or only LP? I've only been able to find the LP
 
De Nada bro. I'm just glad when I can help!

This is available on the album 'Ritmico' which was reissued on vinyl by Deja Vu records, so technically that is a digitally remastered version...!

I did some searching for a CD version. There are some links found by google when searching for "congo blues" frank el pavo hernandez, but I didn't quite find an online store that sells the CD.

I can recommend picking up the vinyl reissues of Frank 'El Pavo's albums for those that like vinyl. They are cheap and very well done with great sound too!

Cuidate!
- Guachi
