Pucho & The Latin Soul Brothers - Saffron & Soul / Shuckin And Jivin '1966, 1967 [2012]

Tracks list

Latin jazz master Pucho Brown was one of the great discoveries of the acid jazz
era. His Got Myself A Good Man defined the era and he has toured off the back of
its success ever since to a large international audience. The release of Saffron
& Soul and Shuckin& Jivin completes BGPs reissue of the classic Prestige
recordings on which his reputation is built.
Saffron & Soul is the sound of a top-notch Latin jazz band in full flight.
Covers of recent hits by the Four Tops sit alongside the classic Caravan, the
dancefloor heat of Something Black and the mod jazz groove of What A Piece.
Shuckin & Jivin is the first of Puchos Latin Soul albums and features pianist
Neal Creque and vocalist Jackie Soul. The title track and a stunning You Are My
Sunshine have made this sought after by DJs, but the album is high quality from
start to finish and ends with a great version of Herbie Hancocks Maiden Voyage.
This two on one CD release is remastered from the original master tapes and
comes with an sleeve note by project supervisor Dean Rudland.
