Fania records founder Jerry Masucci nurtured a group of musicians who collectively defined the New York-based Latin American dance music called salsa. Masucci packaged his stars in touring revues patterned after the R&B revues mounted by Motown, Stax/Volt and others. The Fania All Stars could thus play such large venues as Yankee Stadium and Madison Square Garden, promoting both their individual careers and recordings such as Rhythm Machine, which features some big-name jazz guests. Ruben Blades leads a stellar vocal lineup that includes Adalberto Santiago, Hector Casanova, Ada Chabrell, Nancy O'Neill, and Johnny Pacheco, who also plays flute and percussion. Jon Faddis and Randy Brecker are the headliners of a four-piece trumpet section, backed by three trombones, flutes, harp, vibes, and other assorted instruments. --John Swenson

not salsa.......2006-05-22

If you are looking for great salsa that we have come to know from Fania do not look here. This album has an all star cast playing disco beats with an attempt to sell more records and play large venues. If disco is your bag I suppose the record is fine, but if you are looking for great fania salsa stick to the individual artists such as Bobby Valentin, Hector Lavoe, Willie Colon and all the other great Fania artists!

REMEMBER OUR TIMES WITH FANIA ALL STARS.......2004-07-19

WHEN MY HUSBAND AND I WERE SO YOUNG (MORE THAN NOW) WE HEARD THIS SPECTACULAR PRODUCTION. WE SANG "ELLA FUE", "SHE WAS THE ONE". IT IS A "STICKY" RITHM THAT HAS AN EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE OF THE LATIN MUSIC. THE CHORUS ARE SIMPLE AND "SPANGLISH". ALL THE PRODUCTION IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. WE BUY IT NOW SO OUR CHILDREN CAN APPRECIATE IT TOO. OTHER GOOD PERFORMANCE ARE "PEANUTS", "JUBILEO" THIS IS A MORE INSTRUMENTAL PRODUCTION THAN A VOCALIST ONE. IF YOU LIKE TRUMPETS, STRINGS, OR YOU LIKE SANTANA,,,, THIS IS A GOOD SELECTION.

A smokin' re-issue!.......2000-10-10

This is the second of four albums recorded by the Fania All-Stars on the Columbia label and the best fated of all them. At this time, Fania's mogul, the late Jerry Masucci, engaged in a distribution deal with CBS looking for a shot at crossover. In other words, being at the time the reigning label in Latin music (salsa in this case, to be way more specific), now Masucci wanted to appeal to a wider audience: the American market.

After a disasterous flop with the first attempt ("Delicate and Jumpy," a production by brothers Billy and Gene Page; guess the title they chose for the album says it all...), CBS delegates this project on Bob James, who hires the great Jay Chattaway as the producer. Chattaway, fresh from his acclaimed work on Maynard Ferguson's "Conquistador," the album with the famous Rocky theme on it, attempts the same techinque here with impressive results. Very unlike what happened in the Page brothers' case, Chatttaway actually took his time to get acquainted with the cast of Fania All-Stars (for recording purposes, virtually reduced to a sextet here: leader Johnny Pacheco on flute, percussion and vocals; conga legend Mongo Santamaría, timbale wizard Nicky Marrero, virtuoso pianist Papo Lucca, bongo player (and amazing dancer) Roberto Roena and top arranger and bassist Bobby Valentin, all of them legends by own merit) and with their style of music. So, the combination of Fania cast's Latin know-how with Chattaway's innovative style of arranging were an equal match, resulting in the refreshing, outstanding contents of this release.

Highlights on this album include the opener "Ella Fue," a crossover hit co-composed by Pacheco and guest guitarist, the late virtuoso Eric Gale; "En Orbita," straight ahead Latin jazz jam showcasing Marrero, Valentin and trumpet ace Luis "Perico" Ortiz; Chattaway's own "Jubileo," a Brazilian treat featuring Lucca's virtuosity on piano; "Verâo Vermelho," another Brazilian-influenced piece, this time with Pacheco on the spotlight, assisted by fellow flutists Joe Farrell and Eddie Daniels (both actually best known for their virtuosity on other instruments: Farrell on saxes and Daniels as a clarinetist) and trumpet master Randy Brecker; and the salsa classic "Juan Pachanga," featuring singer Ruben Blades (the track's composer, in one of his earlier hits) and one of the most influential arrangers in salsa history: the late Louie Ramirez on vibes.

If you're into Latin jazz, then this album is highly recommended for you. Give it a listen.

Exotic and Erotic.......2000-08-23

I owned the LP and I now happily own the CD. Very good mix of Latin and Jazz, slowed paced songs take you to a dreamily saunnaland, and fast paced songs make you feel you are in a carnival.

Product Description

Same Height Relation, was produced by Grammy-nominee, Andres Levin (Yerba Buena). 14 months in the making, "Same Height" is HOS's most definitive body of work to date, wheeling through lavish anti-epics ("Winterland," "Rhyme Like Me"), mariachi-inflected disco ("Annie," Squares Into Circles), bittersweet alt-pop ("Heart In Your Hand," "Tongue-Tied") & bare-bottom acoustic ("Same Height Relation"). At the helm are founding members and first cousins, Jeb and Clayton Colwell, who harmonize with the clarity and conviction of a latter-day Everly Brothers.

Great new power pop cd!.......2006-01-22

I took a chance on this and am glad I did! These guys have an 80's vibe and incorporate such seemingly disparate influences as Brian Wilson and Tom Petty and even maybe A-Ha. Very clever lyrics, "Mom's In Love Again (With My Girlfriend)" is an absolute hoot, I giggle every time I hear this sick lyric (seems like more and more groups are exploring odd pairings like FOW and BC Camplight) with great melody and humor. Some very memorable songs, well sung and played, nice harmonies, a fine effort! I play this one a lot.

A definitive Willie Rosario masterpiece........2004-06-20

When originally released in 1983, this album was most definitely indispensable. Featuring Willie's robust, swinging and always hard-hitting band along with vocalists Tony Vega and Gilberto Santa Rosa this was "Salsa Dura" at its strongest. Now that it's available on CD (after being unavailable for too long) it becomes indispensable for all serious salseros again.
