The Fania All Stars - Yankee Stadium, New York City, August 24, 1973

For your hot August nights in 2023 — a very hot August night in 1973 ... in more ways than one! This Fania All Stars extravaganza must've been an incredibly fun night in the Bronx, a half-century ago this week. A double LP of highlights came out a few years later, as did this somewhat hard-to-come-by documentary. The transfer here on YouTube is not the greatest (it deserves a high-tech cleanup a la the Summer of Soul footage) but that's OK, the footage itself is phenomenal. And hey, we get Geraldo Riviera popping up occasionally to give us some of the finer points of Latin music ... thank you, Geraldo.

Things got fairly wild towards the end of the night, as detailed in Will Hermes classic Love Goes To Buildings On Fire:

"By the time the Fania All-Stars get into their own set, the crowd, which has been prohibited from going onto the field, is getting restless. The band launches into [Larry] Harlow's fire-spitting 'Congo Bongo,' and by the end — with Ray Barretto and Mongo Santamaría dueling furiously on tandem congas, and Billy Cobham, wearing a football jersey, thundering beneath and between the beats, lifting everything skyward — the crowd erupts. They burst past the barricades and swarm out over the field, dancing, cheering, and waving Puerto Rican flags. Jerry Masucci's brother Alex, one of the co-producers, is freaking, because he knows he can kiss that $50,000 deposit on the field adios. He tries to get the orchestra to stop, but they keep pounding it out, Johnny Pacheco conducting wildly in an unbuttoned white dress shirt and stacked heels, hair flying like a crazed Caribbean Beethoven."

Ya casi ni me acordaba del boogaloo, el latin soul, la música de los neoyorquinos latinos, el precedente sesentero de la salsa, en cierto modo su "garaje" por la sencillez de sus ritmos.

Hubo un tiempo (el del Siroco Soul Machine, años 90) en que me dejé atrapar por cosas como "I Like It Like That" de Pete Rodriguez, "Watermelon Man" de Mongo Santamaría, "Bang Bang" de Joe Cuba, y , por supuesto, por "El Nuevo Barretto" de Ray Barretto, música elemental pero excitante, cantada indistintamente en inglés o castellano, que ni siquiera gustaba mucho a las mismas disqueras que lo grababan y mantenían pero que tuvo su gracia y su momento. De ahí salieron varios de los futuros "reyes de la salsa" como Willie Colón o el propio Barretto.

Frank Wess – Southern Comfort

Southern Comfort is an album by jazz saxophonist Frank Wess which was recorded in 1962 and released on the Prestige label.

The Allmusic site awarded the album 4 stars stating “Nelson’s attractive arrangements serve Wess quite well throughout this session… To his credit, Nelson doesn’t over-arrange. There is still plenty of room for blowing and improvising, and Wess sounds very uninhibited on everything… One of Wess’ most rewarding sessions”.

Frank Wess – flute, tenor saxophone Al Aarons – trumpet George Barrow – baritone saxophone Tommy Flanagan – piano George Duvivier – bass Osie Johnson – drums Ray Barretto – congas Oliver Nelson – arranger, tenor saxophone
