Search - Latin Soul Orchestra :: Latin Soul Orchestra (featuring Joe Bataan)

Latin/Soul legend Joe Bataan brings to this Bataan/Alan Lorber production a cross-fusion of Latin, disco and jazz, in a large orchestral setting. Also unique to the album is the "LaSo Square", a disco-Latin square dance with "calls" by Bataan. The album includes the fantastic orchestral Latin/jazz rendition of Stevie Wonder's "Another Star" featuring saxophonist/flutist Bob Porcelli, and Alan Lorber's soaring "Sugar" with the late Latin trumpet star Victor Paz in the lead. The album includes an all star line-up pf R&B, Latin and jazz musicians which include Chocki Quintero on cungas and bongos, Cornell Dupree, guitar, Frank Owens, keyboards, the LaSo Singers and strings and featured vocalists, Bataan, Julian Llano and Jocelyn Shaw, with arrangements by Marty Sheller. This is the first reissue of this 1975 album.
