COMPILATION

The Alegre All-Stars were far too busy having fun to worry whether they were playing jazz or not. Based around the seminal Alegre label, early-'60s dates for this group were the most swinging, inventive, and fun in the recorded history of Latin music. (The wine flowed very freely at these dates, as with their major influence, the Cuban jam sessions released on Panart a few years earlier.) Granted, they only released a handful of records, but it's no exaggeration to call these recordings the template for what became salsa music, with masterful playing and star-making roles for Charlie Palmieri, Johnny Pacheco, and Barry Rogers, among others (including the irrepressible timbalero known only as Kako). Although it's slightly more formal-looking (and -sounding) than it should be, the Fania compilation titled Jazz does a solid job of compiling the best material by this early-'60s collective. Including most of their longest jams, the 70-minute compilation features a good portion of the sum total of their material, and most of their best ("Ay Camina y Ven," "Peanut Vendor," "Kako y Palmieri"). ~ John Bush
