Boss Mambo

Boss Mambo (In Memoriam Joe Cuba)

Compilation created by another past blogger "Joe Sarno" of Singer-Stints from 2009.   Using the Jim Flora artwork of a classic LP for the image of the blog post.

If you dig down the original comments :

This is one of  the most popular Singer-Saints compilations, more on the Latin jazz tip than salsa--with some sprinklings of lounge and exotica for even more fun. Too many great musicians are exiting fast but it's a chance for some tributes and posts I might not have thought of otherwise. So Joe Cuba, father of the boogaloo, this one's for you.
