Celebrate The New Year With Tino's Drums, Loleatta's Love, Plus All Of Ruth And A Shivery Secret Song!


Are you hung over? Are you ambulatory yet? Not really? I understand. But c'mon, you have to get up sometime, don't you? When you're ready, nothing will get you moving for the New Year like Tino Contreras, the vanguard Mexican jazz drummer and composer. Ay!

Even if you haven't heard of him, you've heard him (try track 4, titled "Santo;" a memory or two may come flooding back). Though he's long been cherished South of the Border, as they say, it's taken quite a bit longer for us gringos to catch on. Just wait.
