Here's one for your long, breezy summer afternoons by the sea. Jazz, funk, tango and bossa vibes kiss each other, all wrapped up in JLR's trademark cinematic feel. In his colourful 'Un Hombre De Buenos Aires,' recorded in 1978, JLR puts the political outcry of his early '70s works aside and focuses on his love for the city of Buenos Aires. As always, Jorge López Ruiz enroled for the recording of 'Un Hombre De Buenos Aires' some of the best musicians in the country. The line-up includes Dino Saluzzi on bandoneon, Domingo Cura on percussion and his lifelong friend Pocho Lapouble on drums. Jorge López Ruiz gets far less credit than he deserves. His crucial role in shaping Argentina's jazz history should place him right next to Gato Barbieri and Lalo Schifrin, giants who found success abroad. It's an honour do dig deeper into his vast discography after having already reissued his masterpiece 'Viejas Raíces' and his historical milestone album 'Bronca Buenos Aires.'
