Omschrijving

Pacheco has never run a mambo-type big band. Yet here he is, fluting away like Johnny-Begone in front of full brass and sax sections. This is Pacheco freelancing, in about 1962, with what was essentially Machito`s band. It`s an unusual disc, with fine flute, and great Rene Hernandez arrangements. Pacheco charanga sound in a big band recording, and not any big band, but the MACHITO band, featuring piano and arrangements by Rene Hernandez. Mr. Hernandez, along with Mario Bauza, were responsible for the jazzy but danceable arrangements of the Machito band of the 1950s and 1960`s.

While this is an old recording, 1962 according to the notes, the sound is surprisingly good

These are classic mambos as interpreted by El Maestro, Johnny Pacheco. Yes, there are styles such as son, charanga, cha cha cha, but to truly appreciate Afro Cuban music one must also give the mambo its due. Pacheco adds masterful arrangements and this collection of classic mambos is unique in that it is in STEREO, unlike others that are unfortunately in mono because they were recorded in the 1940s and 1950s. Among my favorites from this CD are El Bodeguero and Patricia - pure danceable HEAT
