Synopsis

Album Details

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.

"Este es uno de los mejores CDs de salsa de todos los tiempos, con las mejores canciones del Duo Dinamico de la Salsa, Willie Colon y HEctor LAvoe. No hay fiesta que no quede bien con este CD. Todos los clasicos estan aqui. HAY que tenerlo."

"Marveous album. Incredible duos with Lavoe and Celia Cruz and, of course, his daring -- and swinging -- song about AIDs "El Gran Varon". Only Willie could have done it. Buy this album!"
