Willie Bobo Spanish Grease / Uno Dos Tres 1-2-3 CD reissue from Verve Records brings together two classic albums on a single disc. This collection showcases Bobo's mastery of the transitional period following the decline of the mambo, blending traditional Latin forms with an eclectic repertoire of rock, blues, jazz, and pop. Featuring a multi-ethnic band, the tracks include soulful Latin grooves and rhythmic percussion that influenced later salsa, Latin rock, and Latin jazz. The disc contains 22 tracks including "Spanish Grease," "Hurt So Bad," "Fried Neck Bones and Some Home Fries," and "Rescue Me," all originally produced by Creed Taylor. Produced in the USA, this 1994 compilation captures the vibrant energy of the Spanish Harlem music scene.
