Pat Martino has certainly had more than his share of ups and downs: after establishing himself as one of jazz's outstanding guitarists and a major influence on such younger players as Pat Metheny, he suffered a brain tumor that forced him to relearn the instrument. Now that he has come all the way back, it's even more interesting to see where he started with El Hombre, his 1967 debut as a leader. A Philadelphian, Martino worked steadily in the organ combos so popular in the region's jazz clubs, earning his bones as a sideman for Jack McDuff, Richard "Groove" Holmes and Don Patterson, and this date reflects that background, with organist Trudy Pitts serving as Martino's primary foil. As its title suggests, El Hombre has a decidedly Latin tinge, employing flute, conga, and bongo for a soulful bossa sound that, while currently out of vogue, proves remarkably winning. From the opening "Waltz for Geri," Martino establishes himself as a confidently swinging yet breezily relaxed player, and turns in some of his best performances on the title cut and the extended "A Blues for Mickey-O." For guitar fans unfamiliar with Martino's work, El Hombre is a revelation. --Fred Goodman

Beautiful.......2001-09-29
Caballe is in as beautful voice as ever and feels at home with this non very taxing repertoire. She doesn't overindulge in her other times frequent "floatiness" and is very expressive throughout. Thogh sometimes when some coloratura is needed she tends to drop the consonants blurring her enunciation of the words. We are used to this from her opera recordings though she's not as bad as Sutherland.
Marti is a nice tenor but is not in the same league as Caballe. That's why he never got star recognition though he made a few recordings whith his wife, like Bellini's "Il Pirata". His is a lyrical tenor, a little throaty but with nice projection of the sound. He sounds a little strained over the "passagio" but hits all the notes. More importantly, he compensates for his lack of vocal lustre with burning impersonations of his characters. Passionate and burning in some, tender and caressing in others. In this respect is better than his wife who is a little more doll like hidding behind her vocal resources. So I specially enjoyed the many and varied duets in this recording.
Strongly recommended.

"El Hombre del Traje Gris" es uno de esos pocos albumes que merecen el titulo de clasicos, y como tales, deben tener un lugar especial en toda coleccion musical de rock en español seria.

That Same Year, El Hombre Burbuja's "¿por Qué No?," was Featured in the Movie Gente Pez.Customer Reviews:
Great Rock Band.......2003-03-12
This is their first album, and although they had serious problems during the process of making it, you can see this was a great seed of what will be their next records("Nadando a crol" & "La paz está en las matematicas").
You can find here just and simply honest,alternative riskful rock. An special mention for their lyrics: they write in spanish, not as many indie-bands in spain. And they know how to use this language to make great mixes between music and the words used.
The Lp has a high general level, but my favorites are: "El te de los locos"(inspired in: Alice in Wonderland), "Bang,me apuntaste y Bang", and "Donde estas II".
It is sad, but great bands as "El hombre burbuja" don't have many chances to survive in this country, where it seems to be no place for no marketing music. So, enjoy this record, but remember that we have lost another great band.
