专辑介绍
by John Bush
Willie Bobo's first record for Tico is arranged around his previous double-sided single, &Bobo! Do That Thing& b/w &Guajira.& The former, which leads off the set, is a sub-Ray Charles shing-a-ling number, with frequent calls for Bobo to get to it. &Guajira& is much better, Bobo's first minor-key Latin processional (many were to come), with great ensemble brass and reeds leading the way. &Azulito& is a racing stomp, while &Grab Your Hat& and &Chickadee& are nice piano-led numbers. Some of the other inclusions, though, are outright awful; &Diferente& couldn't have happened before &On Broadway& became a hit, while &Be's That Way& rips off the deep brass notes of Major Lance's &Monkey Time& (and never does much else). When placed underneath songwriting this bad, it's nearly impossible to hear Bobo's playing for what it is: solid and inventive. Unlike most of his Verve dates, Bobo! Do That Thing/Guajira never rises above the bucketfuls of Latin popcorn released later in the '60s (though admittedly, it's played better here than it would in the future).
