 <\/p>\n

Greetings all.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I thought I\u2019d whip a little Latin jazz\/boogaloo on you to usher you over the hump.<\/p>\n

One would assume that most of you were already familiar with the music of the mighty Willie Bobo.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Though Bobo came up as a percussionist with leaders like George Shearing, Cal Tjader<\/strong> and Mongo Santamaria,<\/strong> he made his biggest mark as a solo artist.<\/p>\n

His 1960s Verve recordings are not only excellent, but were popular enough that they are still fairly easy to track down.<\/p>\n

His cover of Len Barry\u2019s<\/strong> \u20181-2-3\u2019 (rendered here as \u20181-2-3 (Uno Dos Tres)\u2019 was the title track from Bobo\u2019s 1965 LP of the same name.<\/p>\n

Taken at a brisk pace, with some tasty horns and the sinuous of guitar by Gabor Szabo<\/strong>, it\u2019s not hard to imagine a discotheque full of swingers grooving to this one.<\/p>\n

Grab yourself a copy of the 45, and you also get the mighty \u2018Fried Neckbones and Some Home Fries\u2019 on the flip.<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t got any Bobo heating up your crates, get out there and start digging. You will not regret it.<\/p>\n

I hope you dig the sounds.<\/p>\n

See you on Friday.<\/p>\n

Keep the faith<\/strong><\/p>\n
