Ten minutes of pure bliss. Roger Glenn goes crazy on his vibraphone; man, what energy! Thank you so much for sharing this priceless video of two grand master congeros just working it to a nasty degree. Outstanding composition co-written by Armando Peraza & Raymond Perez. This video never gets old; I can watch it forever.
Two boyhood friends on one of the biggest music stages in the World. Mongo's smile to Armando at the beginning is a pure energy boost to even simply look at it Today! Roger Glenn on Vibes & flute, Eddie Jefferson on Tenor and Eddie Martinez laying down some very complex piano chords alla Eddie Palmieri. We are all so lucky to still have a record of this night. Thanks!
Para entender lo que actualmente se toca, debemos apreciar el soul/afro. A los que no dieron Like temo que evidencian las raíces de la música afrocaribeña y ritmos latinos. Excelente exposición musical!!
Mongo fue como un padre para mi, mas de 35 anos de Amistad. Clemente Piquero, "Chicho", bongocero del Sexteto Bologna y de Benny More fue su inspiracion. Armando Peraza tambien fabuloso, pero no tan profundo como Mongo. Mongo fue el quinto mas fuerte y sonoro que Cuba dio. En la decada del 40', Mongo era el bongocero mas cotizado en La Habana. Por mas de 50 anos fue band leader, compositor de muchos temas y el primer tumbador en ganar un Grammy. CAMINA DON RAMON!!!!!
Hermano Dario: Respectfully, I beg to differ with you. Mongo y Armando were two giants in the field - each unique in their own way. We owe them both so much. But to say that Armando was not as deep as Mongo doesn't sit well with me. Armando was every bit as profound as Mongo. They were both creative geniuses and forces of nature as demonstrated in this clip.
Mongo and Armando two legends of Afro Cuban music. Mongo, the strongest quinto player ever. Mongo's music will live forever. Jesus Maria se impone! Dario
Hermoso video Hugo,Gracias.La música recorría las venas de estos artistas.Quisiera uno estar allá con ellos viéndolos hacer estas maravillas que trascienden las órbitas de este planeta.
This is great. I remember seeing this on TV back in '72 or so, it was on PBS (or whatever they called it then), highlights of the Montreux '71 festival. I remember Chico Hamilton also being featured.
That was Mongo at Montreux.. I had this album as a kid. Roger Glenn was on vibes, Eddie Gua Gua Rivera on bass, Steve Berrios on Drums, Cater Jefferson on Tenor
I am a lover of everything Mongo and connected to Armando through a mutual friend...thanks for sharing this wonderful look into the past of both masters. Do you know who plays the vibes in this performance? He gives Cal Tjader a run for his money.....thanks for sharing awsome rendition of the beginnings of latin jazz!!
@MrClaudiatais Entiendo hemano,Yo tambien fui musico.Estudie saxofon en la Escuela Libre de Musicaen los 60's.Comparti entre otros con Perico Ortiz y Reinaldo Jorge.Deje de tocar profesionalmente cuando me gradue de Derecho.Como santurcino que soy la musica es mi pasion.Tuve el privilegio de alternar con Mongo y cuando Paraza vino con Santana gozar en una descarga,Vilato esta en las pailas.Saludos
Roger Glenn plays both vibes & flute on this 1970 tour of Europe which includes this concert at the Montreux Jazz Festival. The studio version of this song is the theme song for Miles Purlick's Saturday evening radio show on Kjazz 88.1 FM from 10pm to Midnight out of Cal-State Long Beach. Roger Glenn later earned a Grammy playing flute with Cal Tjader on La Onda Va Bien which also featured Poncho Sanchez on congas & Mark Levine on piano.
Roger, I saw you guys many times when you came through Boston. That was some of the best music I have ever heard. I'm glad you're doing well. Thanks for the good times brother. I'll remember forever.
great three part interviews.....i was priveleged to meet armando with a mutual close friend a few years back....the interviews reminded me of some old albums i have with people like rene touzet, of course mongo and cal tjad
It is the same title, but Roger Glenn plays marimba on the LP Mongo's Way. Sadly this cut was omitted from the Live At Montreux LP from 1971, and for unknown reasons was NOT added to the CD re-release twofer Mongo 70' / Mongo at Montreux.
Thanks for posting! This is fantastic--the masters together. I've never seen a cat lay on the vibes like that. Great band--love the cowbells and drummer, too.
"Mongo Santamaria" (April 7, 1917 - February 1, 2003) was a Cuban percussionist and bandleader who spent most of his career in the United States. Primarily a conga drummer, Santamaría was a leading figure in the pachanga and boogaloo dance crazes of the 1960s. His biggest hit was his rendition of Herbie Hancock's "Watermelon Man", which was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998. Also "Afro Blue." From the 1970s, he recorded mainly salsa and Latin jazz, before retiring in the late 1990s. He passed away in Miami due to a heart attack at the age of 86.
@gomerijos Sé de lo que hablas, la dupla de Mongo y Peraza, y la historia que los envuelve, el trabajo con Puente, bueno Clemente 'Chicho' Piquero no era el 'tumbador' de Beny Moré, era el Bongocero de este y maestro de Mongo, Mongo en la isla vio a muchos monstruos, pues cuando jugaba con Benny (tambien en los bongoes) vio al gran Tata Guines, vió a Jose Sotolongo en la percusion completa (una de las dos dinastias de Cuba) a Carlo Alfonso (de los Alfonso Dinasty) a Ramoncito Castro (bongo),etc
@MrClaudiatais Eso no es correcto.Ambos viajan a Mexico en 1948 como parte de una revista musical.Los llamaban 'Los Diamantes Negros",luego van en 1949 a NY con la misma revista pero el bailarin mata a su pareja y se suicida.Se quedan sin trabajo.En lo que arreglan sus papeles ,Mongo regresa a Cuba y en 1951 comienza con Puente hasta 1957.Peraza y Mongo fueron contemporaneos .La influencia mayor de Mongo,dicho por el,fue "Chicho"Piquero el congero de Beny More.
RAY MALDONADO was a great guy who would jam with us after hours at the KINGS' PAWN TAVERN in Boerum Hill,Brooklyn during the early seventies.This is a shout out to that great crowd of all ethnic backgrounds!
Hi @jazzmiss46, The guy at the vibes is Roger Glenn, also a remarkable flutist. He issued a record called Reachin' Do you have a digital file of the above? It's not on the Live at Montreux LP and the one on Mongo's way is also shorter than this. Would appreciate it very much. Thanks, Abel (abelmasferrer@yahoo.es)
@gomerijos Parece que no profundize mi comentario por eso no lo entendiste bien, tuve que escribir el texto mucho mas largo e informado para comentar aquello de que Peraza estab tecnicamente por arriba de Mongo, tanto jugaba en el Conj. Kubavana con Patato. Peraza estaba enseñando en Cuba a Marcelino y aprendiendo de Tata, de Ramoncito, de Sotolongo y muchos otros...ache echemigua, moyumba al tambó
El que toca el cencerro detras de peraza es ray maldonado hermano de ricardo ray quien tambien era unos de los mejores trompetista de new york lastima su adiccion a la eroina acabo con su vida

Maybe Eddie Palmieri debe mucho a Edy Martinez ?
I think that's the unsung master Carter Jefferson on tenor sax , Eddie Jefferson was a jazz singer
Wow que recuerdos lo gravamos en Montreaux 1971
Edy Martinez maestro grande..
Gracias maestro por su tremendo legado musical!
Que ricoooo es una belleza
Leyenda gracias por todos tus aportes en el arte 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Maestro nunca olvidare el tema : LA ye y MANUELA SÍ .
TREMENDA MELODIA

Dos gigantes y dos hermanos que se hablaban a traves de los cueros con respeto, sin alardes ni orgullos puro Saoco.

Saw Armando with Santana 3 or 4 times.., loved his talent !
Que placer ver a esos dos congueros supremos saludos
Wow Hugo thanks a million brother, glad you could upload this !!! The best on the congas period !
This is great. I remember seeing this on TV back in '72 or so, it was on PBS (or whatever they called it then), highlights of the Montreux '71 festival. I remember Chico Hamilton also being featured.
Thanks for posting Hugo, just awesome !!
Esto es para la historia y tremendo trabuco

My parents dug this and now their kids love it.
I saw them at DeAnza college, playing outside for free, in about 1979, might have been Spring of 1980. They were great.
Roger, I saw you guys many times when you came through Boston. That was some of the best music I have ever heard. I'm glad you're doing well. Thanks for the good times brother. I'll remember forever.
I would've love to see Mongo jam with Jimi Hendrix... ooooohweyyyy!
Wow!
I really think jimmy would have gotten a big kick outta that..being that he was particular about his drummers.
Steve Berrios es quien está en los timbales y también toca la batería.
El también estuvo en un disco que Sabu Martínez sacó
great three part interviews.....i was priveleged to meet armando with a mutual close friend a few years back....the interviews reminded me of some old albums i have with people like rene touzet, of course mongo and cal tjad
