Joe Gallardo & Sol's "Sol", originally released in 1975.
“Sol” is a Latin-funk psych fuzz blaster that basically covers all the realms of rare record collecting in one shot.
Latin Jazz has always been present in Gallardo career. His first big break came in the late sixties, when Luis Gasca, a trumpeter from Houston, Texas, invites him to play the trombone on his first album “Little Giant” on Atlantic Records. During this production, Joe Gallardo made contact for the first time with great Latin jazz musicians such as Mongo Santamaria, Mark Levine and Julio Collazo, side by side with jazz giants like Herbie Hancock, Joe Henderson, Richard Davies and Bernard Purdie. That time was fundamental for Joe Gallardo, who never stopped playing and recording.
