Ray Barretto — "The Other Road"

$50.00

Where Fania meets jazz fusion. In 1973, Ray Barretto surprised everyone by abandoning boogaloo for something wilder: a Latin jazz record featuring Billy Cobham on drums and Art Webb on flute, pushing into rock-influenced, extended improvisation that nobody expected from a Fania release. His take on Monk’s “Round About Midnight” alone is worth the price. This is the bridge between Barretto the boogaloo king and Barretto the salsa legend — a bold detour that paid off beautifully.

Genre: Latin Jazz

Year: 1973

Label: Fania Records — SLP-00448

Country: US

Condition: Media: VG+ / Sleeve: VG

Notes: Original late 70's Fania Records 1st Palm Tree label variation Reissue. Released in a gatefold jacket. The minorest of scuffs on cover and vinyl but plays GREAT
