"At least Código Music reissued this gem from 1968, including the ultra-rare Seeco sessions from 1965, originally released as 45s. El Sonido Moderno is a latin jazz winner, featuring Paunetto's compositions and arrangements. This album was recorded during the boogaloo era, so you can find some ones here, but not the monotonous boogaloo sound, the arrangements are fresh and innovative. The Seeco sessions are in a more typical latin sound and includes an all-star lineup: Bobby Rodriguez (bass), Johnny "Dandy" Rodriguez (timbales), Frankie Malabé (bongos), Sonny Bravo (piano) and Willie Torres (vocal). Great liner notes from Miles Perlich. This is a must-have for your latin music collection."
