Mongo Santamaria "Soul Bag" (1968)

Spent Christmas morning with the family, then had to head out to my mom's about noon. After we passed out the gifts, I remembered that she had quite the vinyl collection back in the day; I only remembered that because I always had to help lug them around every time we moved. Anyways, I happened to find a lot of things that you wouldn't think to find in a crate full of old records owned by a 61 year old divorcee/widow from the state of Texas. After spending some time delving through the remnants of her collection, I only came to one final conclusion: mama's got soul... Okay, so this is a nice one, and except for a few unrepairable nicks & scratches through-out, it plays pretty damn good. Bernard Purdie drums, Hubert Laws flute, Luis Gasca trumpet, and Mongo on percussions; need I say more!?! Enjoy this. I know I did. Back soon. Peace!
