1. Harlem River Drive Harlem River Drive--Eddie Palmieri's Harlem River Drive album was released in 1971, and is probably one of my favorites from the Latin 60's/70's soul era. If someone asks you how to classify Latin Soul, is the one of the albums I would put on (along with Joe Bataan Subway Joe, and Ray Barretto Acid).
2. Donny Hathaway In Performance--At last, my Hathaway collection is complete! In Performance is the last of Hathaway's albums that I didn't have up to this point. At first listen, I'm not sure I like it as much as his other live release, Live, as it doesn't quite have that energy (second listen--pretty damn close). It's still really, really good though because, you know, it's Donny Hathaway.
3. Les McCann & Eddie Harris The Swiss Movement. I already know this album well, and had it on vinyl previously, but it wasn't the best copy so I needed a new one. Great duo in McCann and Harris, although I may like Les McCann Invitation to Openness and Layers, and Eddie Harris The Electrifying Eddie Harris a bit better. Close call though, every album I mentioned by these two are great.
