The record
A compact survey of Loco's Latin jazz piano style, all crisp Cuban rhythms filtered through a cocktail-hour touch that made him a crossover favorite of the era. Fantasy's compilation format captures his knack for turning boleros and mambos into something a jukebox crowd and a jazz crowd could both nod along to.
