Tito Puente & His Orchestra - My Fair Lady Goes Latin (Roulette, 1964)

 

Is this good or terrible?

[T.D.]

On bandcamp. I enjoy older vintage Sakata, didn't know what to expect here, but it sounds rather good.

It's surprisingly good.  Or, more accurately, I should say that I like it very much.  

Some of it might initially strike you as cheesy, but keep listening -- because it will grow on you.  Honestly, I think Tito was an astounding arranger.  Plus, I find his approach to rhythm irresistible.

Original LP

[rostasi]

Big Little Simz fan. Showing, here, her impeccable flow,
indelible lines … but what kills is her melodic swagger.
