Jazz / Latin Jazz / Soul-Jazz
Often, albums such as Lost and Found, cobbled together from unreleased recordings found long after an artist's death, are a signal to run quickly in the other direction: if the artist chose not to make the material available to the public, it's possible that he found them lacking or just never got around to finishing them -- perhaps he buried them away for good reason. Some of the tracks on Willie Bobo's Lost and Found do feel unfinished or abandoned -- one has to wonder if Bobo had planned to add vocals to some of the instrumentals, for example -- and there are others that simply don't measure up to the Latin percussionist's most significant Afro-Cuban works. But flaws and incompleteness aside, Lost and Found is, for the most part, a fine collection of Bobo recordings dating from the early to mid-'70s, when the artist was still at the peak of his creativity. Discovered by his son in the family home, the dozen tracks assembled here showcase Bobo in a number of settings, from fiery, sweaty workouts such as "Round Trip" to the smooth, Antonio Carlos Jobim-penned "Dindi." There's no telling what, if anything, Bobo had planned for these left-behind recordings (some of which, tellingly, make little use of Bobo's percussion talents), but while Lost and Found is no substitute for his pioneering '60s albums for Verve, it's a commendable addition to his discography. ---Jeff Tamarkin, All Music Guide
Willie Bobo
Active Decades: '50s, '60s, '70s and '80s Born: Feb 28, 1934 in New York, NY [Spanish Harlem] Died: Sep 15, 1983 in Los Angeles, CA Genre: Latin Styles: Salsa, Latin Soul, Latin Jazz, Latin Folk, Afro-Cuban Jazz, Boogaloo
Willie Bobo was one of the great Latin percussionists of his time, a relentless swinger on the congas and timbales, a flamboyant showman onstage, and an engaging if modestly endowed singer. He also made serious inroads into the pop, R&B and straight jazz worlds, and he always said that his favorite song was Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Dindi." Growing up in Spanish Harlem, Bobo began on the bongos at age 14, only to find himself performing with Perez Prado a year later, studying with Mongo Santamaria while serving as his translator, and joining Tito Puente for a four-year stint at age 19. Mary Lou Williams gave Correa his nickname Bobo when they recorded together in the early '50s. After working with Cal Tjader, Herbie Mann and Santamaria with whom he recorded the evergreen Latin standard "Afro-Blue" -- Bobo stepped forward in 1963 with his first recording as a leader, with Clark Terry and Joe Farrell as sidemen. Recording for Verve in the mid-'60s, Bobo achieved his highest solo visibility with albums that enlivened pop hits of the day with Latin rhythms, spelled by sauntering originals like "Spanish Grease" and "Fried Neck Bones and Some Home Fries." In addition, Bobo played on innumerable sessions in New York, recording with artists like Miles Davis, Cannonball Adderley, Herbie Hancock, Wes Montgomery, Chico Hamilton and Sonny Stitt. In 1969, he moved to Los Angeles where he led jazz and Latin jazz combos, appeared on Bill Cosby's first comedy series (1969-1971) and short-lived 1976 variety show, and recorded on his own for Sussex, Blue Note and Columbia. One of Bobo's last appearances, only three months before his death from cancer, was at the 1983 Playboy Jazz Festival where he reunited with Santamaria for the first time in 15 years. ---Richard S.
