New Swing Sextet

Description:

Debut release from the New Swing Sextet, led by vibraphonist Jorge Rodriguez! This album, The Explosive NEW SWING SEXTET, has the funkiest mood of their four released album covers. The English-language vocal numbers M1, M2, M4, M5, M8, M3, M6, and M7, all of which are vocalized and arranged by the leader, George Rodriguez. The rolling vibe is quite good, and the vocals on the boogaloo-style numbers seem a bit flat, but that is a characteristic of this band and may be what gives it its danceable appeal.
