Recorded in London, England in 1980, this is a superb album by Buenos Aires-born saxophonist Andres Boiarsky, whose name appears on many of the key Argentine jazz works including those by Jorge Lopez Ruiz. Issued on Spotlite Records, a label well known for releases such as Paz. Features Phil Lee (g), Paul Rogers (b), Allan Cox (d), and Simon Morton (perc). Highlights include A1, where Boiarsky’s sax glides gracefully over a light Brazilian bossa rhythm, A3 with its primitive berimbau and chant, A4 pairing tropical Latin beats with a splendid guitar solo, and the standout B1, a smoky jazz-rock cut where electric guitar, sax, drums, and bass unfold at times with heat and at others with cool restraint over crisp percussion-driven rhythm. Packed with strong material from start to finish, this is a truly top-notch LP.
A1: Sudam
A3: Ritmo de Ruas
