Friendship Train by Pucho And The Latin Soul Brothers from Jungle Fire!

Featuring 180-gram vinyl pressed at Quality Record Pressings (QRP) from lacquers cut by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio from the original master tapes and housed in a one-pocket old-school style tip-on jacket, this is the first-ever audiophile quality vinyl reissue of Pucho and the Latin Soul Brothers’ incendiary boogaloo getdown. ALBUM OVERVIEW: One of the greatest, most sought-after albums by legendary combo Pucho and the Latin Soul Brothers, Jungle Fire! lives up to its name with five extended, incendiary instrumental cuts. Joined by hard-grooving cohorts Neal Creque (electric piano), Bernard Purdie (drums), Billy Butler (guitar), Eddie and Al Pazant (horns), Joe Armstrong (congas), and Billy Bivins (vibes), Pucho demonstrates why he’s considered the absolute master when it comes to combining Latin, soul, funk, and jazz into a signature, danceable sound. With cuts like the group’s incendiary take on the Temptations’ hit “Cloud 9,” to the buoyant swagger of Gladys Knight & The Pips’ “Got Myself A Good Man,” the drum-driven double team of Pucho and Purdie delivers a crackling backbone of groove throughout. Producers take note: the aforementioned track contains the drum break used in the Chemical Brothers’ 1997 hit, “Block Rockin’ Beats.” TRACK LISTING: A1. Friendship Train A2. Got Myself A Good Man A3.
