"The Blackhawk", San Francisco, CA, 1962
Reposted from the early days of this blog-ripped@320 this time from the original vinyl.Essential!
Heavy heavy heavy descarga session from way back when Mongo was still killing 'em dead and hadn't sold out to lame soul covers and boogaloo nonsense.Features the ferocious "Bacoso "which develops into a scorching percussion battle mid way through and the storming "Descarga at the Blackhawk". Interestingly enough one of Joao Donatos first u.s.recordings on which he plays both piano and trombone - he contributes "Bluchanga" .One of the great latin lps of the 60s.
BTW Check out oir contributions and shares-pekis has been on the case with a couple o' hunks o' funk from the great Jimmy Smith.

what a treat!one of my wishes for re-up fulfilled.and also where you got your name?important also for this only!

This Mongo Santamaria is awesome. I can never get tired of listening to him. Do you happen to have any other recordings by him? I've been looking for Mongomania, that he made on the Columbia label. I think it was in 1966 or 1967.
Only ever read about this LP, Its tough througout, your discription of it is spot on!
oh yes indeed. dynamite!!
many thanks, i'll be spinnin this for weeks
Great one, Bacoso. Many thanks.
Great Mongo! I agree, his earlier work was in a whole different category than the later stuff. Not that his later works are "bad"--not at all! But he clearly took a turn in the musical direction he was taking. Thanks for reminding me of the "old ways"!
Now we know where you get your name! Thanks Bacoso and Pekis too.
this is excellent and essential, thanks kindly, pls feel free to browse through my blog and act as required.

Bacoso:
Only a tub-smashing, rhythm-loving chimp with a massively deep collection like yours could be responsible for a post like this. . .
This must have been one of my first ever DLs - when you did you last post this? It must be near a year and a half or two years ago.
To think that after whatever amount of months it has been that I can still recall this beaut is amazing to me because of all of the other killers that have been snapped up in between,
Tip of the hat to you, meister - you really know your game.
Cheers,
JN
