the nitty gritty sextet - something new / nitty boo boo - rocafort records - vinyl

New Copy

Genre: Latin

1. Something New
2. Nitty Boo Boo

Rocafort Records presents, for the first time on vinyl, "Something New" and "Nitty Boo Boo", two cuts penned by "The Nitty Gritty Sextet", an alias for the best musicians of the New York Latin scene.

It's 1967 in Spanish Harlem and the NY Latin Music All Stars gather in the studio to record a bunch of tracks. The session captures the sound of the time, the fusion between latin music, mambo and son cubano with rhythm & blues and soul. Despite the interest of RCA in publishing them, many of these tracks never saw the light of day. Until now !
