Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

With a plethora of unnecessary and predictable compilations flooding the over subscribed market each year, Soul Jazz's thoughtful and considered approach always means they remain one step ahead of the competition, consistently releasing collections with a strong concept and reason for being. The concept behind Nu Yorica! is simple: a celebration of Latin fusion in New York between the years of 1970-1977, all detailed with careful reference to the cultural and musical melting pot that had merged over the previous decades. To highlight certain tracks would be a disservice to others, as all are killers in their own right, although contributions from the likes of Eddie Palmieri, Joe Bataan and Harlem River Drive should provide doubters with enough evidence of the collection's pedigree. The richly intricate elements and themes of Afro-Cuban percussion and Latin funk rhythms run as powerful and energetic reminders to the time and underpin the entire album by their presence, to complete another dynamite collection that side steps the obvious with ease. --Found Sounds

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent and credible introduction to Latin in the 70s, 25 May 2001
By Stevo (Staffordshire, UK) - See all my reviews
This compilation, as with most Soul Jazz material is that it is just so rich, it is difficult to know where to start! What struck me was that there were so many different styles of music on offer. It is impossible to take it all in at once. However this is no bad thing, you will come back to this record again and again. Tracks that didn't appeal straight away will soon enough become favourites.

There's quite a lot of scope here regarding groups, from the almost 60s style Ocho who play so tightly but still sound relaxed to the funky, nearly disco, distinctively New York sound of Joe Bataan. There's also examples of jazz (Harlem River Drive) and Puerto Rican material (Tempo 70). Every track is a gem.

One thing that might put you off is that this compilation contains music from the seventies, which might project visions of bloated, woolly material. In fact, much of the music is tight and stripped down but sounds like a definite evolvement of the sixties dancehall bands led by the likes of Tito Puente.

In Short, you won't be disappointed.
