Description

Original 1970 stereo pressing of Different Directions by Orquesta Flamboyan con Frank Dante, released on Cotique Records (CS-1052). A dynamic Latin jazz and salsa LP that blends instrumental fire with lyrical soul. This Cotique label variant features orange/blue/grey coloring (not the more common pink/orange/grey) and includes the track listing for Paz on the front cover.

Lead vocals by Frank Dante are paired with powerful arrangements and piano work by Ed Edenfield. The album moves effortlessly through cha-cha, guaguancó, Latin jazz, and salsa rhythms with authentic NYC sabor. Standout percussion by “Latin” Joe Colon and Jose “Juicy” Cruz, plus a tight horn section and robust trombone leads from Angelo Rodriguez and Joe “Chickie” Fuentes. A deep and underrated LP for Latin collectors and DJs alike.

Notable Tracks:

  • Ay Que Felicidad

  • Pa' Guaynabo

  • La Negra Caridad

  • En Caracas (La Gente Bailan Sabrosa)
