Harlem River Drive - Harlem River Drive flac mp3 download

what is this pressing like? thinking about buying it. Cheers Stu

Can't agree more with JOECOOL! This album truly epitomizes the Soul Funky Latin Jazz infused sound of the post boogaloo era. This production successfully integrates all influences mentioned above, the vocals and musicianship are so beautifully intertwined. Even the artwork is Harlem to the fullest! Love this Entire effort as it resonates with my own musical experience growing up in Harlem with cats like Herman Wright, Rodney Jones, Kenwood Denard, Gil Scot Heron, and Joe Bataan! 5 STARS!

You guys worded everything i liked to say if my English wasn't so bad. This EDDIE PALMIERI (yes! this is EDDIE all the way, besides of course the bad a** playing from the band) seminal album is living up to all the fuzz it was given in later years. One of the best albums ever, simple as that! You guys laid it down perfectly and there´s no need for me to try to expand on the subject.When you name dropped one of my all time hero GIL SCOTT-HERON i instantly knew you're were a man who one can trust, living and growing up along these heroes is just the icing on the jealousy cake!

A legendary Latin funk album -- spearheaded by Eddie Palmieri! The record is a landmark crossover album from the early 70s -- cut at the end of the Latin soul era, but featuring that genre's wonderful mix of Puerto Rican soul, Spanish Harlem Latin, and New York funk. The grooves are all nice and long -- with plenty of hard jamming, and soulful lyrics in English that have a very positive message. All tracks are great -- and titles include "Seeds Of Life", "Harlem River Drive", and "Idle Hands". Eddie Palmieri plays piano, and the group grooves hard with a killer Latin funk sound!
