Hey! Let's Party - Mongo Santamaria

Satisfaction

Hey! Let's Party
Mongo Santamaria
Columbia CL 2473
1966

From the back cover: Another source of Mongo's strength in a highly competitive field – and which Mongo places among his assets – is the personnel of his group. The regulars, apart from leader Mongo on drums, include Marty Sheller, trumpet; Herbert Laws, sax; Bobby Capers, alto, baritone sax and flutes; Carmello Garcia, timbales and drums; Rodger Grant, piano and Victor Venegas, bass.

From Billboard Magazine, June 4, 1966: This is exciting material. The rhythm section, particularly the piano, lays down a precise and exciting beat and sets a great mood for dancing and listening. Full fills the title as a good one for parties.
