“One of the best lyric tenors in the world in the second half of the twentieth century is the Spanish Alfredo Kraus (1927-1999), also considered the greatest in bel canto of his generation. The great master and lyric teacher was no friend to make concessions out of the musical repertoire that was more suited to his voice and style, but this album, recorded and released in 1965 and reissued in the 90s, is one of those rare samples. Kraus is accompanied by Tuna of Fray Luis de León College of Madrid and plays a total of 12 items of typical rondallas.”

“Eddie Palmieri, one of the most innovative artists of Latin music and a pioneer of salsa, at age 25 created a group 'La Perfecta' in 1961, with trombonist Barry Rogers and singer Ismael Quintana. The great percussionist Manny Oquendo also supports the recording, specially on timbales. This is one of the first bands of salsa Yorkers, who served until the end in 1968 due to financial problems. These are very experimental first records of the future evolution of salsa music on the music stand of fashion beats in those years. This is the first recording in which Eddie plays the piano 'montuno' –chromatic playing of syncopated character- with the left hand, while making solo with the right one. The singing voice is that of the great Ismael Quintana.”

The repertoire is varied although does not include some of the most typical and classic tangos with other less common and more of thematic source from several European countries.”

“This work led to Ellington one of many collaborations made during the 60's with other great jazz musicians and to Coltrane was an opportunity to collaborate with one of the great jazz musicians of all time. Despite the union of these two artists so stylistically different the result continues to be something more than a musical uniqueness, but also an important record of the history of jazz that unifies the best of both musical stylings. The quartet structure is configured sometimes recording with bass and drummer of Duke or Coltrane.”
