4 stars Where's Lisa?
A Great Yet Incomplete Collection of Willie Bobo... How could the producers of this alblum not include Lisa, Black Coffee, and other great songs. It has other classics: Fried Neckbones & Some Homefries, Evil Ways, & Grazing in the Grass. And, It has several more great songs: Sham TIme, Juicy, and some Afro-Cuban & Acid Jazz tunes. (Ones that you can't find on his albums or on a single disk.)

But, simply how could they not include one of Latin Jazz's greatest songs: Lisa.

2 stars Mainly cheesy titles & production
Willies a fine percussionist & there no doubting theres some choice cuts on this record (Spanish Grease, La Descarga Del Bobo)but if you like authentic Latin/Salsa/roots, this is not your pick. Cheesy song selection, strings & pop covers make this more akin to lounge music for the white shoe brigade or crisp fried Miami matriachs & their cheap suit toy boys. Best avoided in my opinion unless your planning a 60's themed Go-Go party.
