Ritmo, Sonido Y Estilo van Manny Oquendo y Conjunto Libre uit 1983, wederom een briljante, onovertroffen opname op het New Yorkse Montuno label. Met de latin-jazz track Little Sunflower, compositie Freddie Hubbard
Another excellent effort by Conjunto Libre; the band keeps stretching out of their conjunto format into a broader canvas. "Que Humanidad" is a highly charged tune, as the band`s powerful rhythm section is quite stimulating. "Estoy Como Nunca" and "Llora Timbero" are quite interesting performances these tunes seemingly never out of steam, as they are continuously recorded by other bands. Freddie Hubbard`s "Little Sunflower" receives the Libre treatment, and it is done with hefty aplomb, as well as the plena standard "Elena, Elena." The early 80s never fazed the band, in spite of the era`s cold reception of their genre. This meant a solid commitment to the music, in spite of the constant badgering of newer salsa tendencies. (All Music Guide)
A great little 80s album by Manny Oquendo`s Libre group -- recorded after their classic Salsoul LPs, but every bit as great! The group are in incredible form -- very tight, with loads of jazzy touches, and an approach to the groove that won`t quit. Players include Andy Gonzalez, Jerry Gonzalez, Steve Turre, Dave Valentin, Jimmy Bosch and Milton Cardona -- and the tracks are all long enough to allow the players plenty of space to express themselves. Arrangements are by Marty Sheller, Andy Gonzalez, and Manny Oquendo.
