Willie Bobo was cool--and hot. This music swings in a boogaloo/Latin soul/"60s sort of way. Swing by definition means not staying in one place. Some of Bobo"s music slow, some is fast, some is sappy, and some is just plain greasy. "Fried Neck Bones and Some Homefries," anyone? Open your ears as Bobo tackles Hugh Masekela"s "Grazing in the Grass" and Bacharach"s and David"s "The Look of Love" (with the bandleader tackling vocals as well as percussion). "Evil Ways" and "Spanish Grease" are a couple of songs that any Santana fan will recognize, but Bobo stamps them with his daring and idiosyncratic charm. --Jonathan E.
