mikeweil Posted June 26, 2020 Report Posted June 26, 2020 Did not buy this so far as I have it all on different LPs or CDs - but if you have one, the remastering should be okay ..... 13 hours ago, Teasing the Korean said: One year later. Still grooving to this box set. Listening now with fizzy water. I don't drink Monday-Thursday. Looking forward to hearing it with rum cocktails this weekend. Quote

I also have the CD set and can confirm that both the music and sound quality are excellent. It is a great set; highly recommened. Quote
Teasing the Korean Posted June 27, 2020 Author Report Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) Now enjoying an Ancient Mariner with the Fajardo disc: 3/4 oz freshly squeezed lime 1/2 oz fresh grapefruit juice 1/2 oz simple syrup 1/4 oz allspice dram (I use more like 1/8 oz. A little goes a long way.) 1 oz Jamaican dark rum 1 oz Demerara rum. Shake in a shaker with ice; pour into a highball glass over crushed ice. Garnish with fresh mint. Play a wild Latin jazz or exotica album while listening. In this case, the Fajardo disc in Complete Cuban Jam Sessions! Edited June 27, 2020 by Teasing the Korean Quote
Teasing the Korean Posted June 27, 2020 Author Report Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) Now enjoying disc 5, "Descargas in Miniature," with the aforementioned Ancient Mariner: 3/4 oz freshly squeezed lime 1/2 oz fresh grapefruit juice 1/2 oz simple syrup 1/4 oz allspice dram (I use more like 1/8 oz.

Teasing the Korean Posted May 3, 2021 Author Report Posted May 3, 2021 Well, it's officially rum cocktail season. Now spinning disc 1, with a 151 Swizzle: 1/2 oz fresh lime 1/2 oz simple syrup 1.5 oz overproof rum Dash of Angostura bitters 1/8 tsp. Pernod 8 oz ice. Blend in blender. Serve in a tall glass. Top with shaved nutmeg. Garnish with cinnamon stick. Quote
mikeweil Posted May 4, 2021 Report Posted May 4, 2021 What's in for disc 2? Enough discs to get drunk! I just threw disc 5 in the player. Let's meet in the middle. Sans cocktail for me, as I have some more work coming up in the afternoon, involving driving. Quote
JSngry Posted May 4, 2021 Report Posted May 4, 2021 151 will fuck you up. When I drank with purpose, a double was my call upon arrival and then every break thereafter. Mission accomplished. Quote

I am off for most of this week, and in early May, I usher in Rum/Latin Jazz/Exotica season! 4 hours ago, JSngry said: 151 will fuck you up. When I drank with purpose, a double was my call upon arrival and then every break thereafter. Mission accomplished. 151 scares me, and I generally avoid it. The thing with this particular cocktail is that this is only rum involved, 1.5 oz, along with 8 oz of crushed ice. Many of the classic rum cocktails call for 2 or 3 oz of other rums. However, let me tell you about one of the best uses of 151: Amateur dentistry. One Friday night, at about 11 pm, a crown became dislodged, and it hurt like hell. Obviously, there were no dentist offices open at 11 pm on a Friday. My solution? I soaked a cotton ball in 151, placed it above the crown between my upper and lower jaw, and bit down. I successfully popped the crown back into place, and it hasn't moved since! Quote

HutchFan Posted January 1, 2022 Report Posted January 1, 2022 I understand that these Panart Jam Sessions were the inspiration that prompted Al Santiago, founder of Alegre Records, to make the Alegre All Stars records. I wish Craft would do a similar sort of box set treatment for those Alegre All Star releases. I think they have a similar sort of underground reputation and deserve much wider exposure. ... But I guess you could say that about nearly everything that Charlie Palmieri did. Quote
soulpope Posted January 4, 2022 Report Posted January 4, 2022 Should dig out this box again .... Quote

But I guess you could say that about nearly everything that Charlie Palmieri did. There was another aggregation founded after the Alegre All Stars, the Cesta All Stars, in which Charlie Palmieri also played: https://www.discogs.com/artist/1101421-The-Cesta-All-Stars. AFAIK there were six Alegre All Stars LPs. Five by the Cesta All Stars. The Alegre tapes are owned by Fania, which is now owned by Concord. Since Craft is part of the Concord Music Group, why not .... Send them a suggestive mail. Charly did a CD compilation of the Alegre All Stars many years ago, which is nice. Just saw that Fania reissued exactly that compilation! Edited January 4, 2022 by mikeweil Quote
