Willie Bobo: Bobo Motion
Registrato nel 1967 con una piccola orchestra che le note di copertine non si pregiano di specificare e gli arrangiamenti di Bert Keyes o Sonny Henry, Bobo Motion è un ottimo esempio di questo approccio, spinto qui alle sue più raffinate possibilità, andando cioè a lavorare di fantasia nell’aspetto ritmico e nella scelta delle composizioni.
Convivono così in questo breve programma dei classici come "Tuxedo Junction" o "Cute", accanto a "La Bamba" e "Up, up & Away", ma anche il Joe Tex di "Show Me" o il Sonny Burke di "Black Coffee", il tutto attraversato da un funk elettrizzante e leggero che le congas di Bobo alimentano incessantemente. Musica per sorridere.
