Search - Willie Colon :: Best of Willie Colon

Best of Compilation from One of the Pioneers of Latin-american Music. Despite Initial Criticism, Colon Has Become Known as One of the First Artists to Feature the "New York Sound" that Sparked a Renewed Interest in Latin Music During the 1970s. He Used Trombones as Lead Instruments (Instead of Trumpets Or Flutes as was Customary in Afro-cuban Groups); Blending in Jazz Harmonies and Jazz-style Soloing, Colon, Along with Pianist and Bandleader Eddie Palmieri, Largely Defined the Sound of Salsa.
