The "New Swing Sextet" releases their smoking latin double sider on the Agozar record label.
Agozar Records from Sweden manages to bring the amazing Latin outfit from the 60's together again. Celebrating 58 years, the world famous New Swing Sextet, make their way back to the recording studio after a few years to record their limited edition Latin 45rpm series. This 45rpm contains 2 Latin burners including an updated recording of the track that made them famous in the Latin dance world, "My Favorite Things." This striking version reminds me of the "Nacho Molina" piano sound fusing in to the "New Swing Sextet" sound. It features 2 great solos with piano & vIbraphone. The funky Latin montuno piano solo by "Conal Fowkes " keeps your feet and ears having a blast covering many sub-genre influences. The vibes solo follows, played by the bands co-leader "George Rodriguez," will certainly strike your emotional chords as its simply 100% passion.
The second track on this record is also a dancers dream of mid-tempo paced grooving cover of the famous Venezuelan Salsa killer jam, "Ponte en Ritmo" originally recorded by timbalero "Carlos Quintana" & his Tabaco Sextet in the early 70's. This new version is arranged by Maestro Joe Mannozzi. It features the lead vocal stylings of Orlando Ortiz and a melodic and rhythmic piano solo con sabor by the above-named, Conal Fowkes.
Both of these new recordings by the New Swing were recorded at Allertone Studios in NYC, by the world renown grammy award winner himself, "Willy Torres." Willy was also the session's vocal coach, helping the band to bring out their very best during the recording session.
In addition to the aforementioned band members, the New Swing Sextet features all of the bands regular members, including, Jimmy Figueroa on timbales and vocals, Co-leader Angel Justiniano on congas and vocals, his brother Harry Justiniano on bass and vocals, and Hector Ortiz on bongos and cowbell.
Don't miss out on this classic recording and be sure to get this in to your collection. This recording will be appreciated by all music lovers, especially those Latin connoisseurs that crave that raw elegance that those classic Latin recordings deliver.
