An excellent project organized by both Enrique Jorrin and Odilio Urfe, with arrangements by both of them.
Early 1960's vinyl LP on I.C.A.I.C.
Several featuring the masterful and highly stylistic trumpet playing of Oscar "Florecita" Velasco O'Farrill .
I used Goldwave V.5 to "trim" the beginnings and ends of each track and also slightly clean the surface sound.
