  <pre>Sabu - Palo Congo - 1957 Label: Blue Note Producer: Alfred Lion Art Direction: Reid Miles Nationality: USA Chano Pozo nailed the Afro-Cuban conga drum into jazz playing with Dizzy Gillespie's orchestra in the late 1940s. In doing so, he opened a door for such talented percussionists as Louis &#34;Sabu&#34; Martinez, who replaced him in Diz's band following Pozo's death in 1948. Equipped with a powerful spirit and slap, Sabu triumphed as a session sideman for Blue Note Records, working on Art Blakey's &#34;Orgy In Rhythm&#34; and &#34;Holiday For Skins&#34; among others. As A leader on &#34;Palo Congo&#34;, he served up a variety of beats, drawing on his mixed Spanish/African/West Indian heritage. Engineered by Rudy Van Gelder, the recording captures the fury of the Cuban rumba and son styles in a studio performance. Martinez hosted a band that included Ray Romero, who played with Miguelito Valdes, and the tres (a Cuban folk guitar with three doubled-up strings) of the prolific Arsenio Rodriguez, a pillar of modern salsa. Musicians chosen largely from the band of arsenio Rodriguez interact with Sabu in warm, non-distorted analog. The recording is mono, but its judicious balance allows drums, voices, and acoustic bass to emerge individually. Sabu's singing opens &#34;El Cumbanchero,&#34; by Rafael Hernandez, with its infectious melody. The genius of Arsenio permeates through &#34;Rhapsodia Del Maravilloso&#34; where he introduces variations on &#34;El Manisero.&#34; The tone of his tres guitar has a soulful, funky timbre. Sabu hinself delivers tough-fisted solos on &#34;Palo Congo&#34;, while interweaving Santeria prayers into an album that illuminates his roots as a native New Yorker living in El Barrio of Spanish Harlem.
