Son “a generic term covering numerous earlier musical styles,” is celebrated here by the band that has helped kept son alive. On this release, they pay tribute to the great son bands/composers of the past. From the early days (before horns were included), up through the Latin jazz bands of the 50s. This is great stuff, extremely solid throughout with tight arrangements, great performances, and lots of catchy energy. Play it all. And dance, you lazy DJs!
